My unit has failed after so many years of use. I’d like to open it up and see what I see to try and fix it.
How do you open it without breaking clips or marking the plastics? I can’t find an obvious way to disassemble the main unit.
There are only a couple videos on YouTube showing how to open this device and they all use a flat screwdriver to pry against the plastic which leaves serious marks and dents in the device. I have tried prying there with my ifixit plastic tools but no luck: I can’t get it to open.
I can un clip the front faceplate (the gray one) but can’t fully remove it because the DVD tray door is stuck shut and holds it. The unit won’t power so I can’t open the DVD tray and I don’t see any manual release for it.
Any pointers appreciated.
