i have a compaq laptop, 2170us, that will not start. when i press the start button it will attempt to start and then it shuts down. then the laptop will continue to start and stop by itself, this will continue until i disconnect all power or press the reset button. i want to take it apart and clean and or repair it but i can't get it apart. there seems to be 2 screws by the ram compartment but i cant get to the heads of the screws. it was running hot for awhile and then it started having problems.
