Heh....puzzle time!  Pull the keyboard & battery, undo the screen cable, pop 
off the hinge covers (tubular covers...they slide off) and remove the rear 
feet (covers pop off...screws and washers are special, don't lose them and keep 
the screw covers separate, as they indicate the ports) and display to allow the 
upper cover to come loose.  I normally just remove the screen and back cover 
when I take mine apart.  The back cover sort of "rotates" up if the screen is 
off (and watch out for the screen cable...easy to tear) and lets the back of 
the upper cover lift up.  Do NOT try to prise the front open..it will just 
damage the case.  Watch out on the front right, as there are hidden clips which 
are easily broken.  Check inside the battery compartment, on the inside is one 
clip...this will allow the left side to open, then I sort of wiggle the case to 
get the top cover off.  On a 2300, you need to use great caution, as anyone 
who has torn the cable from the trackpad to the logic can confirm!

Hope this helps....
