Шаг 6

Flip the unit over so that it is facing right-side up.
Use a spudger to pry open the gap between the bottom case and the front panel. Work all the way around the case until the panel is free.
Avoid touching the L and R shoulder buttons, because they easily detach and are difficult to reassemble. Keep the bottom case flat against your workbench to help hold the shoulder buttons in place.

Carefully separate the two pieces by hand.
The two shoulder buttons are made up of three pieces -- the plastic button, a pin, and a spring. If they accidentally pop out while you are working, study the picture and make sure you put the spring in the correct position.
When reassembling the cover, make sure that the power switch caver on the bottom case is in the off (down) position to avoid breakage.
