Step 1
—
Outer Case
¶
-
First start by peeling off the outer rubbery covering on the bottom of the device.
-
CAUTION: This part is very fragile, so it is recommended that a blow dryer is used on the covering to heat it up. Simply blow dry the covering while slowly peeling it away, and the covering will not tear.

Step 8
¶
-
There are two clips attached to the upper and lower ends of the WiFi card
-
CAUTION: For the following step, do not pull the clip after you have detached it. The clip is fragile and too much force may cause the clip to break.
-
Grab the end of one of the clips and pull away from the WiFi card. This should make the clip visibly detached from the WiFi card.
-
Do the same for the other clip.
