Add Note Edit Step 9  ¶ 

  • Next, flip the board over so you can see the back side. There should be 3 ribbons attached to the circuit board. (In the picture the white one was not attached as it easily came out when I flipped the board over.) Remove these ribbons from their connectors by simply pulling them out. The circuit board should fully separate from the frame holding the screen now.

Add Note Edit Step 10  ¶ 

  • Removing the screen from the frame was as simple as could be. I simple pulled it out as it had no fasteners to hold it in.

  • In closing the final tear-down should take you less than 15 minutes. There appeared to be no extra features hidden in the unit. No extra fm radio, bluetooth module, or easter eggs. Overall the innards of this unit are pretty underwhelming.
