    • Remove six Philips #2 screws from the bottom of the case.

    • REASSEMBLY CAUTION: To prevent thread stripping during reassembly, turn screws backwards slowly until you feel the screw thread drop into the original plastic thread, and only then, tighten screw normally but lightly - you're working with 20+ year-old plastics.

  2. Top Cover, Disconnect top cover ribbon cable: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Carefully fold the top and bottom open, revealing a ribbon cable connecting the two halves.

    • Unlock and disconnect the ribbon cable. Unlock by pulling the lock lever evenly on both sides, parallel to the board surface (not lift/pivot), in the direction of the ribbon cable.

    • When this ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector is properly unlocked, the ribbon cable should just fall right out of the socket (no need to pull with any strength).

    • When reinstalling, take note of the 6 fork-like interlocking clips around the edge of the shield, which should engage with the original positions.
