      • Remove the following eight screws:

      • Four 15.1 mm Phillips #2 screws near the front of the device.

      • Four 12.7 mm Phillips #2 screws near the back of the device.

      • The slots for the four 12.7 mm screws are very narrow, so you will need a slender, Phillips #2 screwdriver that does not feature replaceable heads in order to reach them.

      • Turn the iHome 180 degrees so the speaker grille is facing you. Carefully lift the bottom case away from the rest of the body and tilt it as shown.

      • Be careful and do not yank the bottom case. A white ribbon wire is the only thing that connects the bottom case to the rest of the device.

      • Using a pair of tweezers, detach the white ribbon cable. Make sure to pull on the ribbon, not on the head.

      • The lower case can now be completely removed from the device!
