| + | [title] Gently Separate the Top and Bottom Halves |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] You have already completed steps 1 through 6 of "Magic Mouse Teardown" where you remove the aluminum shell that is glued onto the bottom of Apple's Magic Mouse. |
| + | [* black] What you have left with are the upper and lower halves of the mouse. They are held together by four tiny plastic posts on the bottom half, that are inserted into plastic loops on the top half. ***WARNING***: If you break any of these plastic posts or loops, it might be game over. |
| + | [* black] The two halves are connected by a wide ribbon cable that is somewhat fragile. WARNING: If you tear this cable it is game over for this mouse. |
| + | [* black] Proceeding with caution, take a small pry tool and pry one of the plastic loops off of its plastic post. Pry the loop in the outboard direction while applying gentle pressure separating the upper and lower halves of the mouse. The loop should pop off the post. |
| + | [* black] Continue to release each of the remaining posts. Remember that on the Apple logo end of the mouse there is a fragile ribbon cable that you dare not tear. |
