I found four snap-holders at the top row. But it appears as if the keyboard is screwed in the middle... Found it: there is a 12th screw sealed by a label :) > Then you can remove keyboard and disconnect cable to touchpad. Ok! > Also make sure you have removed the plastic lcd covers on both sides. It means tilting the display in 90 degree open mode and pressing from the keyboard side softly against the U-shaped covers, right where they join the keyboard bay. They are mounted with two snap-fits. > It may take some force to open the case, even after all screws are removed. Then, I was able to remove the front part by horizontally extracting it - makes quite crunchy noise :) The reason is that the cover itself has one snap-fit for each U-shaped cover... Finally, I have removed them by closing the LCD lid and taking a knife by softly pressing it into the small space between the bottom part and the U-shaped things. Then, they can be removed and reveal the lid mechanics and the screws of the PCB... After removing these screws and the LCD, I could easily get the PCB out of the case. Fortunately, the power socket and the SD-card reader are soldered to the board, so it should be possible to operate the board without peripherals (just RS232 and JTAG connection). BTW: if someone is looking for the RS232 connector: they appear to be "Molex Picoblade 1.25mm", P/N 53261-0471. Phew... Next step will be to find out how to connect JTAG (to an Openmoko Debug Board) and how it works :) > > Best regards, > Peter Van Akelyen Best regards and thanks for the help, Nikolaus
