I need to repair a Radio shack discovery 3300(same as bounty hunter titan 3000xd).
I cannot figure out how to open the case to access electronics inside.
I could not find any screws on the case suface to open it.
I am located here in Korea so it is difficult to send to a service center 1000's miles away.
I am an electronics engineer so i may be able to repair it if i can access the electronics inside.
Could someone tell me how?
 

woof!

The screws are in the front panel, concealed by the pushbutton & window plastic membrane. The usual way to open the machine up is to peel off the membrane to gain access to the screws, but it's pretty easy to cause fatal damage to the membrane in that process, ya gotta be really careful. Another way I've seen it done is to press on the membrane gently in the areas of the four corners with a small screwdriver etc. to discover where the membrane has a little give in it because there's nothing behind it in that spot but a hole. Then, take an Xacto knife and cut a hole through the membrane. This gives you access to the screw (think it's a #1 Philips).
