Step 4

              Remove the backplate and see the internals
  • Now the backplate can easily be removed.
  • The backside of the PCB and the controller board can be seen. The USB-cable is attached via a connector, use a flat screwdriver to carefully push it out (don’t pull on the cable since that might break it).
  • The PCB is hard to remove (don’t know if it is possible at all without destruction), since it is hold by the switches which are soldered to the PCB, and on the other side the switches are hold by the frontplate.
