||
| 10 | The purpose for the Mini-DIN port (marked with a computer icon) is currently unknown. It's connected to a MAX202 internally, so probably carries a RS232 serial. |

| 34 | The bottom cover plate has 6 philips screws and is clipped together at the bottom. Use multiple guitar picks to get them free. |
||
| 35 | 2 | manawyrm | The plastic does not seem to be brittle (yet), some force is OK. |

| 45 | Unscrew the 7 philips screws attaching the plastic shield. Be careful with the speaker wires on the right, they are not detachable! |
||
| 46 | Lift the plastic shield out of the way to the right. When re-assembling, make sure the hook-mechanism and speaker are correctly in-place. |

| 49 | h2. Display/camera disassembly |
||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | Disassembling the display/camera unit is a bit tricky. You'll need a 10mm socket (and possibly socket extension)! |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | Start by removing the 4 screws on the connector: |
||
| 54 | !{width:40%}IMG_3650.JPG! |
||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | then remove the 3 screws in the top of the unit. |
||
| 57 | The sides of the display/camera unit are covered with round covers. They can be pulled out with a bit of force. |
||
| 58 | !{width:40%}IMG_3652.JPG! |
||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | Use a 10mm socket to unscrew the nuts on both sides. |
||
| 61 | Lift the connector cover. This is tricky! Please fill in a good way to do this. The author broke 2 plastic clips by doing it: |
||
| 62 | !{width:40%}IMG_3653.JPG! |
||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | Remove both bolts (and the washers). The swivel piece can now be bent inwards slightly with a bit of force to get it out. |
||
| 65 | !{width:40%}IMG_3654.JPG! |
||
| 66 | Unscrew the 2 remaining screws holding the display unit together. |
||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | There are clips all around the display/camera unit. Use guitar picks again and open the display. |
