Introduction

This guide will help you replace a damaged cover and access other components.

Tools

Metal Spudger

Step 1

Locate the seams next to the 'feet' on the bottom side of the device.

Step 2

Use the metal spudger to gently pry and lift the edge of the seam. The cover is held in place with plastic snaps that will make a popping noise when disengaged. !!Start with the back half, this will expose TWO Screws that need to be removed before lifting the front half.

Yes, the fact needs to be added that two screws need to also be removed to get the cover off. One side snaps off but the other is attached with two screws.

Vorsichtig die Kante hochhebel, wo der Reissverschluss ist. Da ist die Hülle gesteckt. Die andere Seite hat Schrauben die man lösen sollte. Ansonsten zerstört man zu Beginn die Befestigung der einen Seite.

Step 3

For the first part of the case: gently pull back the edges of the case rotating along the hinge opposite the opening seam illustrated in the second photo. Plastic snaps hold the cover in place.
For the second part of the case: there are 2 screws to be removed at the seam. Once removed, the case will come off completely without forcing.

Hello Where can I get a replacement cover?? Mine is damaged.

It feels like you are “breaking” the cover, but in fact it seems to have a kind of “bending point” near the top of the cover by the exterior controls. Watch for the two screws to remove.
