 I've done some work on the CP and CPi model line from several years ago.  They
 were pretty straight forward.  They may have instructions on opening it up on
 their website, it use to be you could enter the asset tag number and dig it up.
 I'm not sure what their current setup is though.  Some also give exploded views
of the laptop.  btw, I didn't see that model listed on Dell's site.

 good luck,
