If its anything like the 850 box, I had to dremel mine open... The fix is pretty straight forward once you're in there, if you're handy with a soldering iron, but I really recommend a high powered jewler's loop to examine the solder joints... failed joints are hard to see, and I ended up having to go back in again 10k later.

So it is glued?

Is it the black stuff that crumbles as you dig it out?

Correct. Some light solvent will turn the adhesive into something about the consistency of jelly and give you about 15 minutes of a work time window.

Not like the 850 box then, at least not like mine. I had to dremel around the seem, as it was almost... friction fitted. Good to know.
