How to disassemble Sigmarion III?

Name speaks for itself.

Why do you need to? Do you need to fix something or remove a ROM or CPU chip?

There was a link on here to a Korean site that had a full dissassembly guide (text was useless but pictures were great).

If I find it I will give you link.

The thought of taking my beloved Sig 3 apart gives me nightmares. As I recall, theoak did it some time ago.

I don't have the Sig3 any more, but if I remember correctly, there were 3 or 4 screws through the bottom of the case. They are pretty obvious. One might have been hidden by the battery. (If I am not remembering the wrong device.) After that there are hidden catches all around the perimeter where the 2 halves of the bottom of the case come together. Work with a thin plastic edge, like maybe a credit card, to carefully push those in, and twist up. They break easily.

To get the lid apart, the 2 chrome buttons on each end of the hinges are only glued on. Remove them, and there are 2 screws (one in each hinge). Those are the least obvious screws. I really don't remember if there were more screws or not. If there were, they were probably under little rubber bumpers that cushion the lid, like most laptops. Once again, there are hidden catches that must be pushed in gently, and twisted up to open the gap and separate the halves. Once again, they break easily.

I think maybe Jax184 might have had more info on disassembly.

I've replaced 4 screwes, than pushed halves and than i had no idea because no obvious holders were

here is the link I meant

Wonder if that is Jax184's page?

Thanks very much, mr-mac, pictures are really great.)
