Hi Namir,

If you would like to try, it's quite simple.

Remove the battery.

Use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the two rubber feet out of the underside of the calculator. Then undo and remove the screws that are under them. You will need a Phillips (cross head) screwdriver for these.

Use the screwdriver to push in on one of the charge terminals under the calculator and the face plate will move forward out of the case. Just pull it a bit further forward and move the face plate towards the top end and away from the case. You will notice a lip inside the bottom of the calculator which acts as a hinge to hold the lower end of the face plate in place.

Reassemble is easy too. Just slide the face plate back in position and replace the screws, feet and battery.

cheers

Tony
