How to open FC500 case?
« on: Sat, 03 November 2012, 12:01:26 »
Is there a guide anywhere on how to open a Leopold FC500 case (without damaging it)? If not, is there a guide for an FC200 (hoping that this is similar to the FC500)?

Thanks;

Should be fairly straight forward. You may need a credit card etc to pry out the plastic tabs. I'm not sure how they are constructed on the underside.

Most boards will also usually have a screw on the underside of the board, covered by a QC sticker. You're going to have to puncture the sticker (which voids the warranty) and undo that screw, then pry off the tabs as SmallFry said.

My signature hasn't changed since 2012. I should really update it.

 This is what the underside looks like. Assuming they are all visible from the outside, it would appear that there are 9 tabs on the top and bottom (and none on the side).

  Is this an easy or hard thing to do (without inflicting any damage)?
