After the screws are removed, grip the front panel and separate the front from the back. This will expose the inside of the device.
Make sure to ground yourself against a metal object nearby (ex. a metal chair, a door frame) before you touch any circuitry. An accidental static discharge can permanently damage a circuitboard.
Use tweezers or your hands to carefully disconnect the red wires connecting the speakers to the power supply board.
Lay the front section flat, with the screen down.
