lint, thanks again for your initial thorough set of pictures and instructions.. they really helped me get through to christmas day without utter dismay at my fumblings ruining a present before it was given.
Playing on memory here, at the end of christmas day with the birds about to sing in the boxing day morning, but one correction would be you said there were 4 screws on each sides once the edges were removed.. i believe there are actually only 3... it did have me scanning quite closely for the missing screws
Those edge bumpers were fragile.. at one point trying to get them back in (on the side with the power and volume switches) i had the top of one flexed quite severly as it was all not fitting together properly.. spotting the latches needed the bottom (with the power and volume button) to go on with the bumper as far up as possible, only to the then slide the bumper down to properly latch into the reader and allow the top of the bumper to fit in more easily - really helped avoid this and NOT snap it trying to force it.. as ever with these things, nothing ever needs really forcing if its all aligned properly.
Beyond that the memory card cover gave me some pain, and i dont think i quite got the screws in right for that.. one screw had a collar, to go away from the cover hinge i think and press onto the raised lip in the screwhole.. i did try putting this in the other way round and couldn't get the screw in the screw hole because of the cover's plastic flexible hinge. I think i've left those screws not exactly far in as my poor screwdrivers offered me no real grip when resistance increased.
Anyways i've added to the poll.. I don't think many would take it apart just for the hell of it
Hope you all had, are having a great xmas.. laters.
