[QUOTE="Rio Cruz, post: 18211"] Thanks for the info. I actually got it apart. The plastic top part clips down onto the metal back. I used a thin blade knife to pry one side of the metal out away from the plastic clips and then was able to pry the whole thing apart. I suspect real technicians have a better way of doing it! ;^) I figured I didn't have anything to loose. I took it all apart, (the circuit board is held by tiny star screws, which I didn't have a screwdriver for, but was able to use a small flat blade screwdriver to unscrew them), dried it all off with Q tips and a hair dryer, put it back together and then reinstalled the software and charged the battery. It now works good as new. There is only a slight roughness to the edge where I pried it off. I call the whole exercise dumb luck!!! RC [/QUOTE]
