    Thanks for sharing!
    I have a TI Magic Wand which doesn’t work, but can’t figure out how to open it (after removing all rear panel screws) -how did you open yours without cracking the plastic casing?

    @Hall

    I don’t remember right now but it should be simple, there are only 4 screws to unscrew.

    Thanks.
    Yes, the 4 screws were easy to remove, but something is still keeping it from popping apart. I’ve tried bending the plastic “locks” around the battery compartment and other places but still no luck.

    Wondering if you ever remembered how to open the shell up. I can’t seem to get it open after I removed the screws either.
