            Since we didn't find any screws we expected them to be under the soft foot pads. 
- 
            We easily removed them with a utility knife 
- 
            Now we can see 4 screws and 2 openings to the PCB. 
- 
            I wondered what they could be but my guess is that they're used to test the PCB.

                  - 
            The case opens up easily when using a utility knife around the sides 
- 
            This is a cover paper to make sure the status LED doesn't shine in the rest of the casing but just to the front

                  - 
            Inside the top case we find a load to give the product a little more weight 
- 
            As you can see the top case is made a little thinner on the places where an IR led is present

Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for sharing this! I think I see an antenna port on that board, too. Interesting …
Now I’m wondering if I should take my chances and try to fix the loose micro usb port or just live with it.

Extremely helpful, thank you. But I also want to know the location of IR input which is used to learning IR commands from original remotes.
