 No matter how much I try, I can't open up the side of my computer case?
Hello. I tried for around 20 minutes or so to open up the side panel, to no avail! How annoying. I want to clean out my computer for dust. There are no screws on the side itself, and there are only screws on the back. I unscrewed all of them, played with the side metal tabs, and it just won't open! It is completely stuck and has no sign of budging. I tried getting my semi-tech savvy dad (yes, I'm only 15) to help but alas, the same results. Completely stuck fast.I tried everything I could. Here's my computer: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/model-faq.pl?mdl=VGCRB40 How do I remove the metal tab blocking? I think this is the problem.

only 2 screws at back, then slide out the side panel
diagram above should be self-explanatory
check the left hand & maybe a small downward push may help
