• Use a JIS 00 driver to remove the following screws securing the rear panel:
• One 2.5 mm-long screw on the top edge of the device
• Two 2.5 mm-long screws on the bottom edge of the device
• To prevent these tight screws from stripping, apply firm downward force, work slowly and try another JIS 00 driver if the screws won't come out. Make sure the driver is fully inserted.
• You can use a Phillips #000 screwdriver in a pinch, but you risk damaging or stripping the screws. Push down firmly on the screwdriver and twist slowly. Often, switching drivers may help, even if they are the same size.
