    • Once the three screws are removed, the device is ready for disassembly.

    • Push up on the rear flap while holding down on the rest of the body. This will open a small gap.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool in the gap and begin prying on the corner.

    • Continue to pry around the body of the case. Separate both sides of the case with this method.

    • Once the sides are released, the front of the cover can be removed.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the front of the cover from the body.

    • It is helpful to use a different plastic opening tool as a wedge on the sides to prevent them from snapping back together.

    • The cover can now be removed.

    • To repair anything on the circuit board, use the plastic opening tool to pull back on the two tabs holding it down.

    • Use caution when pulling on the tabs as they are stiff and easy to break.

    • Keep the tabs if they snap off. The tabs can be reattached with glue when reassembling the device.

    • If the antenna needs to be disconnected, desolder the connection and reattach it prior to reassembly.

    • If the ethernet ports, power port, or reset button are damaged, the large solder points allow you to replace them.

    • Many components on the board cannot be serviced. These components were attached by a machine and cannot be removed.
