Introduction

This guide will provide instructions on removing the damaged or broken case. To best use this guide the Phillips 00 screwdriver is recommended. The Phillips 000 or 0 may work as well, please note that the smaller the screwdriver the higher chances of stripping the screw. It is also recommended to have a plastic opening tool (blue) to gently pull the device apart and a bowl or container to keep the small and easily lost screws in.
