  • After the plastic cover has been taken off you should see the PCB. It has 3 screws that you need a PH000 screwdriver to unscrew.
  • To lift the PCB out I found it easiest to lift on the top (opposite side of usb port) and push lightly on the volume wheel. Just be carefull not to break anything while lifting. I broke the usb port off when doing this.
