How to remove motherboard on laptop Toshiba A35-S159

[bobthecow]

I need to remove the motherboard so I can replace the power jack. I have already removed the hard drive and optical drive as well as heat sink (it needed cleaning) and the memory. The case starts to open, but will not release in the middle are those 4 studs near the memory the problem or the 4 round ones near the microporcessor the problem?
