    • With the help of something small, open the battery compartment.

    • If you see now where the battery resides, you will see one screw.

    • But there is another one hidden under the gray piece of plastic. So we need to remove it.

    • I used the tip of a dental pick.

    • Be carful not to break the plastic, I damaged mine so in the reassemble now it is loose :-(

    • Now you can see the second screw.

    • Undo the two screws and you can now liberate the internals in two pieces.

    • Without taking out completely one of the screws, push against it so the upper part slides out. You can now grab it with you hands and put it aside.

    • In my teardown, I took out the upper black cover first, and I broke it. In this guide you should keep it on until this point, when it should slide easily along with the upper part of the internals.

    • Now, pull the bottom part.

    • We have only one step to do to consider the teardown complete.

    • Undo the four screws holding the main board with a #00 phillips screwdriver.

    • Don't look at that #0 screwdriver, is a wrong one ;-)

    • Now the teardown is completed.

    • To reassembling it, we should take special care on the battery contacts are they should be springy and put under the gray bottom plastic.

    • Bend the contacts a little bit to make this shape.

    • Insert the top part, this step is easy.

    • Now insert the bottom part, but half way.

    • And, with the help of something slim, push the bottom completely making sure the battery contacts are behind the gray plastic.

    • In the picture I show you how NOT to let the contacts, it is outside the gray plastic.

    • Now, screw the two screws (the shorter one is the one that is going to be covered by the spring of the release mechanism).

    • Put the spring + the plastic pusher into place.

    • Be careful on aligning the plastic piece before pushing it into place, or you may damage it.

    • And put the black top cover in place, taking special care on align it so this part is in the IR led side.
