Taking it to Pieces

I followed the guide here (cached here). This guide is itself a rip off of Shamrock's guide (cached here).

Here are the basic steps:

1. Take off the battery - there are 3 screws under it.
2. Remove the 7 black outer screws (4 of them didn't come out, but were loosened enough to no longer engage the other side of the case).
3. Use a screwdriver to prise open the lid.
4. Remove the 5 silver screws (I forgot and that was stupid).
5. Take out the main circuit board - it doesn't need too much leverage to come out.
