Disassembling Polaroid P2 Music Player

Flip the device onto its front/face

Using a metal spudger remove the small circular plastic plate on the back mesh. This is glued to both the mesh and the interior plastic, and will make it easier to remove the rear mesh

Starting at the top. Place a Jimmy in the space between the main plastic/rubber body and the mesh back, and pry in an upwards motion

The bottom of the mesh can be a little stiff to remove as the manufacturer may have used more glue towards the base. Use the jimmy to pry around the edges of the mesh to loosen

Once the mesh is somewhat loosened, Starting at the top, peel the mesh off the main body of the device. You can use your fingers for this

Using a Phillips #0 Screwdriver, remove the 8 screws holding the front and back of the device together

You can pry the two halves apart with your hands when all the rear screws are removed

Black half with circuit board: Rear of device

White half with speakers: Front of device

Disconnect the Battery

Disconnect the Speakers

Remove a further 5 Philips screws

You can remove the board by lifting it from the bottom of the device

To make it easier, slide the board slightly to the left. This should free the USB-C port and headphone jack from their spot

The Volume wheel and top buttons will catch a little when removing the board, but they are sturdy and will not break with reasonable force

The Battery is surrounded in a sticky padded foam and securely attached to the rear of the device (Not shown in photos as I had already removed this prior to writing this guide)

I used some 99% Isopropyl to soften the adhesive and a metal spudger to carefully pry the battery from the rear casing
