    • Now, with the back piece off, you will remove the four screws holding it in place. Use a Phillips head screwdriver.

    • Take note of where you place the screws because you will need them for later.

This is a really GREAT thing that's being done!

It's high time that consumers fought back and stop letting the TECHNO-OVERLORDS, collectively STRIP us of the right to use the digital tools that we purchase from them.
