| - | [* black] ''Hello from Seattle'', sayeth this frisbee that guards the bottom. |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Fair bit of disassemblage required to unclip this thing from the inside and spin it off. There's nothing pretty under there though, so maybe you wanna leave it. |
| - | [* black] Do you need to remove it in order to access the screws for further disassembly? -other teardown video seems to allude to that |
| - | [* black] Optical drive, how paired is it? Stay tuned for testing |
| + | [* black] This friendly frisbee from Seattle welcomes us to the bottom of the device. |
| + | [* black] At first glance it doesn't look like we got much out of removing this, which is disappointing—it took some tedious internal unclipping. |
