1. Take off the rubber sleeve around the case.
2. The two halves of the clamshell are held together by about 9 plastic snaps - no screws or glue.
3. A handful of guitar picks and gentle prying on each side should be sufficient to pop it open.

4. Four T6 Torx screws hold a black piece of plastic into the front clamshell.

5. The battery is held in place by a small bit of adhesive. A spudger and light force is sufficient to remove it.

6. The PCB is held into the black plastic bracket with three T6 Torx screws. Remove these, and the device is almost completely disassembled!
7. The battery connector pops vertically out of the socket (not by sliding parallel to the PCB).

8. We can identify a few key components on the board:
9. Nordic Semi nRF52832 (Bluetooth chip)
10. Winbond 25Q32JV 32MB SPI Flash
11. TI BQ25601 battery charge controller
12. WCH WC340H USB-UART controller
