Introduction
If you have not disassembled a device similar to this in the past, here are a few tips:
1) Always place the screws you remove with their respective slots, this will prevent you from trying to insert a screw that is too big and causing internal damage. (A magnetic mat can help with this!)
2) Because this is a smaller device and you will be interacting with some of the circuit boards directly, you may wish to wear an anti-static wrist wrap to prevent damage.
3) Ribbon cables (named due to their shape) are quite delicate and should be handled gently if possible. We will be sure to warn you when dealing with these.
Otherwise, this guide will mainly be unscrewing screws.
