Step 2

There is a ribbon cable that will still connect the front and back panels once they are pried part.
Use the plastic opening tool to gently pry apart the front and back casing panels. Repeat this at multiple locations around the edge of the device. You should hear the clips that hold the front and back together pop apart.
Once there is a large gap between the from and back casing panels, use your hands to separate the two halves.

Once the solder melts gently pull the wire away from its connection to the terminal.
