Basic details
To get the unit open, remove the two screws at the top. Squeeze the case in the middle
 * of each side t help loosen the two clips that continue to hold it together.

It takes some force to separate the two halves, but be careful not to damage the short
 * the antenna cables when the case finally gives.

There is a ceramic heatsink on the CPU - you can remove this to inspect it by giving
 * it a twist. It will remain adhesive so can be re-attached when finished.
