Hard Drive Upgrade on 12gb PS3 Slim

I'm interested in upgrading the hard drive on my 12gb PS3 slim, but I'm having a problem removing the side panel. All of the youtube videos I've watched make it seem easy - push down and slide.

 

For some reason, the panel on my PS3 won't budge. Any ideas? Has anyone else run into this problem?

 

Thanks.

Keep working at it, while pushing in at the ends and sliding toward the rear. I had a little trouble with mine when I upgraded. BTW: you'll need to purchase a tray sled (caddy or whatever they call it) for the HD to mount properly. The 12gb machine doesn't come with one. Only a few bucks on eBay is where I got mine.

Update - I was successful today in removing the side panel. It still didn't want to slide so I resorted to taking a small screwdriver and gently prying it. A very small piece of plastic on one of the tabs broke off but now the panel slides on and off easily.

 

Save2600 - thanks for your advice and the video link.

 

Now to track down a hard drive.
