            Flip the console on its back and unscrew the 5 screws marked on this photo.

            Once you've unscrewed those 5 screws, flip the console upright again.

            Once the console is upright, first gently pull the rear of the top up. 
- 
                     
            After the top is at an angle, gently remove it by pulling upwards.

-

            Once the 2 halves are separated, it should look something like this.

   - 
                     
            Next step is the removal of the RF shield. 
- 
                     
            There are 7 screws in total, please unscrew those. 
- 
                     
            The blue marked screw is shorten than the other 6 screws, this screw has to be put back in the exact same location during reassembly. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            Carefully lift the RF shield up, left side first. 
- 
                     
            See the note in the previous step.

            Now we have a complete view of the motherboard, thus coming to the last step. 
- 
                     
            For this step you only need to remove 3 remaining screws. 
- 
                     
            2 screws on the connector. 
- 
                     
            There's 1 shorter screw as previously with the RF shield. This small screw keeps the voltage regulator in place. 
 
-

   - 
                     
            When you've disassembled everything, it should look like this.
