3. Take your flat head screw driver or small pry bar and locate the area immediately
below the lid hinge receptacles. Take your flat head screwdriver and insert it between the
upper and lower housing. (See illustration below.)
Warning: Make sure to select an area where the scanner's motherboard is not in
the way when you insert the screwdriver or pry bar. If you insert your prying tool
into the motherboard of the scanner you may damage the circuitry, rendering the
scanner useless.
4. Once the flat head screwdriver has been inserted between the upper and lower
housing, rotate the screwdriver or pry bar clockwise and counter clock wise in order to
pry open or separate the upper scanner housing from the lower scanner housing.
Note: A good indication that this has happened is that you will here a clicking or
snapping sound as the interior plastic clips are released by the force being used
to pry the scanners upper housing with the screwdriver or pry bar.
5. Once the scanner's upper housing has been released lift the scanner's upper housing (at
the rear of the scanner) upward about 1 to 2 inches. (See illustration below.)
