How do I open this beast?

I think I broke the charging (in) port, so I want to open it up and see if it's fixable.

Out of warranty. From W00t :/

No screws, no stickers hiding screws, no obvious tabs. Flexing gives nothing.

Black is 2 parts, top, and bottom face.

Grey is 3 parts, end, end, front edge.

It is probably glued, so you might try heat gun.

Hi @scottbernardis, i think either they glued in or they are using snap in case....

able to force a little in between the black and white section?

I hadn't thought of the heat gun. I'll leave it out in the 100d sunlight tomorrow. I can't get any gaps between the black and whites or anywhere to start prying at.

That's not enough heat to loosen the glue. You will need a heat gun.

Snaps on side of unit both sides. Squeeze side (opposite USB ports) of front of unit (side with LED level indicator). 4 groups of 2 snaps. Otherwise use utility knife to cut along that groove on side of unit. Batteries have sticky tape

image of snaps and position of such!

spot welds on batteries are fragile, avoid prying individual batteries
