Steps:

1. Pull the tip of the Pinecil out.

2. Remove the Phillips retention screws at the base of the cartridge.
3. Remove the Phillips grounding screw, located near the barrel connector.

4. Remove the rubber grip by gently pulling it up in the direction of the tip.

5. Insert a thin screwdriver into the cartridge hole.
6. Gently pull the screwdriver towards the direction of where the OLED screen is. The lever action will cause the case to snap partly off as shown in picture 2.
7. You only need to insert the screwdriver in a couple of centimeters. The halves should come apart with relative ease, do not force it.
8. After making the initial separation using the screwdriver, manually pull each halve apart from each other. As always, do not be impatient as there are thin plastic tabs that could be damaged by one's haste.

9. Remove the 2x Phillips screws holding down the cartridge contacts.
10. The contacts will fall out with gravity once the screws are removed.

11. The board will fall out naturally with all the screws removed. Avoid losing the copper grounding ring and the buttons.
