    • Remove two 6 mm Phillips #2 screws on either side of the On/Off Plate.

  2. Sub3qYg2cZJomiZd

    • Remove the On/Off switch plate and save the screws so you can use them later to put the plate back on.

  3. gQSN2DGbBIa1iH3E

    • Gently pull out the battery cartridge and if needed, replace the batteries with 3 AA alkaline batteries.

    • Starting with the yellow face, insert the metal spudger between the yellow face and the white frame, prying the frame apart.

    There seems to be no way of doing this without breaking the plastic pegs holding the faceplate in on the first one. I haven't managed to try it yet, but I think to undo the rest of the faceplace without damage, you need *really* long screw driver from which you can reach the opposite faceplate.

    I absolutely can not get this off. I was able to get one corner to come up, but something broke off inside when it did, now that one corner doesn't seat back in properly. I would like to see a better or updated guide for this as I don't see how I can remove the yellow plate without completely destroying it.

    • Insert the metal spudger in the space created by the plastic opening tool between the frame and face of the cube.

    • Pry the cube face from the frame.

    Could anyone comment the step 5? Because I have no idea how to remove the plate - only one mount was easily unlocked, but the others seems to be fixed by screws.

    All of the yellow corners are fastened by screws. The only way to remove the yellow panel per the instructions above is to break each corner. I am hoping I can apply epoxy to reassemble.
