How To: Disassemble the FGII
ICC Screen (FDIM):
Thought it would be good to do this properly, including photos.
There are 4 screws to undo from the front (2 each side, top and bottom)
There are 2 large screws on the back
At the point that the screen is separated later, you need to remember to unhook the metal bracket from the plastic screw holes
There are 4 clips (2 on the top, 2 on the bottom) holding the case together
With each unhooked, the case comes apart (and so do the boards)
This is where the metal bracket needs to be taken off (remember the screw holes mentioned above). Stick a very small screwdriver where shown to unclip the metal bracket and use pliers to shift it down as shown. There's also one other clip which isn't hard to undo (this is the hardest one)
The bracket then comes off
Unplug the backlight cable. Using the small screwdriver again, unhook the metal latch for the touchscreen cable
Then the brown latch can be moved out
And the cable removed
There are two more latches holding the screen plastic onto the main board's case, one on the top and one on the bottom
Then you can separate the units. Note, this is the first time a small metal protector has come loose - I'll show how it fits back on the last photo - ready for re-assembly
It is easy to remove the LCD cable from the LCD screen side, but I've never been able to unhook it from the main-board side. You don't really need to unplug that one though. Just flip the main-board over and remove the 4 corner screws
Using a larger screwdriver, unhook the main-board from the case and use another screwdriver to pop the board out
The USB plug does get stuck in the case, but it does pop out with a bit of fiddling
Flip the board over again and it's ready to add "service" wires that can be made to stick out of the unit through the same hole as the master plug
Here's where the piece of metal goes, note that it's different on each end. The end with the extra tab goes on the LCD screen side, not the touchscreen side
