How to open a Revo Pixis RX?

[J V]

Hello

Not sure where to post it... Many people here tinker with hardware so perhaps someone could have an idea... I

have a Revo Pixis RX which has stopped working completely (I tried with a different powersupply, but it does not change anything)... so I want to open it up: maybe it is a small thing that can be fixed or maybe I can repurpose some parts. It could for be a nice enclosure for a PiCorePlayer player: it has a good speaker, a display (or space for one if it cannot be used directly), hardware buttons, ....

But I can't find any guides on how to open it. The thing has no screws, also not under the rubber legs, and for sure it is something with plastic clips. I could try with some brute force, but it would be nice to see how to get started to minimize the chance of cracking something.

Thanks,

Jörg

Just in case anyone wonders in here... The front panel is glued on and can be pried off (carefully). Then you have a similar panel below it which is attached with 4 screws to the case. These 4 screws allow you to remove the panel. A circuit board is attached to the back of this panel, which in turn is connected with cables to: a printboard on the back (where the power supply connects), the top (speaker) and, the back (wifi antenna). The cables are sufficiently long to give some moving space. The top panel can be clipped off (easy by using some leverage on the clips on the inside, trying to unclip it without using these leverage seems risky for breakage).
To remove the mainboard from the front panel, you have to unscrew the nut of the rotary button, and unscrew the lcd display (it attaches with 4 visible screws and is connected through the front panel using a simple connector at the top center ).

Hope this helps someone!

(in my case: the device does not power on at all, it is not the powersupply and I've traced the power as far as I can... so it is something bigger with the mainboard... There are no visible burns, damaged capacitors or anything like that. :-( The idea now is to repurpose the enclosure for a Raspberry Pi, serving as piCorePlayer or so, by replacing all internals :-) Maybe the display can be reused but that will have to be seen)
