How to open a Canon PowerShoot A70 (or Ax0)

Hi
I have a ploblen with my Canon A70. Problably because of a drop, I can`t change switch between shooting and replaying. I think the problem is easy to solve, but I need to open the camera and I am not able to. I have found some screws (2 on the bottom-out side, 2 into the batteries housing, 2 into de memory card housing, 1 behind de terminals cover and 1 behind de date battery holder), but I can't still remove de cover because it is hooked on somewhere on the top side. I don't know if there are some more screws or there are some lashes.
So, hat anybody any idea about how to remove de back cover of my canon a70?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I have not taken apart an Canon A70 before. But I have taken apart a Sony DSC-P92. On the P92, after removing all of the screws, the top is still latched onto a hook. I pulled the bottom apart slowly, eventually worked the top loose. You can also try inserting a screwdriver on top to see if you can pry through the top cover.

I have a CanonA60. Assuming the Ax series have a lot in common, you can simply pull the bottom piece slowly apart, after unscrewing it. There are two "hooks" placed just near the eye-piece and the battery pack.

Hope it helps.
