Étape 2

Continue prying around the end panel, prying at different points until the entire panel is out of its seating.
Carefully remove the end panel.
The tabs which connect the panel are on the short sides.
WARNING: you will likely cause cosmetic damage to the end cap.

Slide out the rubber foot located on the bottom of the case.

Using a T6 bit, remove the flat topped 5mm screw located on the bottom of the casing, underneath the rubber foot.

Push against the side without end cap to slide the internal components out of the case.
While holding the metal outset casing with one hand, press on the black inner plastic casing with your thumb.
It will be very difficult the first time. There is a rubber seal on the outside of the plastic inner case that creates a lot of friction with the metal outer case.
