Opening a Flip MinoHD

Reply by foxymcfox

I was wondering whether anyone has previously opened up a Flip MinoHD. I was looking at attempting to add a microphone jack to mine, but wanted to do my homework before popping mine open.

From what I can gather it appears to be held together through internal tabs (Unless the FCC stickers are hiding some screws) so a spudger or something similar would probably be my best bet for getting it opened up. But I also want to know if there are any parts that I have to worry about flying away once the case is opened...besides the spring-loaded dongle.

So, has anyone even attempted this before? Any information you can give me about the Flip MinoHD or its microphone would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is an old thread/question but I thought I'd share some pictures of a recent teardown of a Flip Mino HD.

The screen was broken and work had already ordered a replacement camcorder so I decided to brutally take apart this one.

Interesting side note - the device worked just fine totally disassembled with the front control board, usb connector and screen detached. The Flickr set above also has a brief video taken with the Flip in mid-repair.

I'd love it if someone would post a teardown using our tool! That's such an elegantly simple piece of hardware.
