Jane I greatly admire your curiosity, but this would be the best possible way to change your Ben from slightly ill (one key screwed up) to a paperweight. If you want to learn about hardware, consider buying a cheap Arduino kit and put it together, then make it talk to Ben using a UBB board (available from Tuxbrain).
Taking apart any consumer electronic device, whether it is Ben or your mobile phone is high risk, low reward. Don't go there. ;( --- Ron K.
