With your hands, pry the back panel off the main case.
Separate the back from the front, and set it aside.

If some of your screws spin free but can’t be removed, it maybe that the screw posts have separated from the shell.

This makes separating the back panel more difficult, but it will still work.

The plastic used for the original silver nds may be the most prone to the UV damage that causes the plastic to become brittle.

Benutze für die nächsten Schritte besser einen Spudger und keine Pinzette,

sonst läufst du Gefahr eines der Kabel oder die Platine selbst zu beschädigen.

Better use a Spudger, not a Tweezer for the next Steps.

That minimize the risk to demolish one of the wires or the mainboard himself.
