We got our new Apple TV today, skipped the 'plug it in' step, and went straight to our disassembly. It's Apple model #A1218.

The packaging has been reviewed to death other places, so we're going to skip that.

Peel up the rubber base (remove the rubber carefully so you don't tear it) and remove the four T8 Torx screws beneath:

Two 10 mm T8 Torx by the ports.

Two 15 mm T8 Torx near the front.
