I think I broke the charging (in) port, so I want to open it up and see if it's fixable.
Out of warranty. From W00t :/
No screws, no stickers hiding screws, no obvious tabs. Flexing gives nothing.
Black is 2 parts, top, and bottom face.
Grey is 3 parts, end, end, front edge.
Is this a good question?

spot welds on batteries are fragile, avoid prying individual batteries

It is probably glued, so you might try heat gun.

Hi @scottbernardis, i think either they glued in or they are using snap in case....
able to force a little in between the black and white section?

I hadn't thought of the heat gun. I'll leave it out in the 100d sunlight tomorrow. I can't get any gaps between the black and whites or anywhere to start prying at.

That's not enough heat to loosen the glue. You will need a heat gun.

Snaps on side of unit both sides. Squeeze side (opposite USB ports) of front of unit (side with LED level indicator). 4 groups of 2 snaps. Otherwise use utility knife to cut along that groove on side of unit. Batteries have sticky tape
