[rescue] HP 715/80

[max trefonides]

to be fair to the original poster, the first titanium came with phllip's 
head screws to hold the back cover on, but the second version came with 
torx, I guess because with the first one the airport card was an option, 
(you would have to remove the whole back cover to install it), and it 
comes standard on the current versions.
