POWER THE UNIT OFF THEN UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE BACK OF THE BOX!

Opening the PVR is relatively easy to do as there are only 3 security screws and 1 anti-tamper plastic tab (looks sort of like an arrow head). Lucky for us we have anti-anti-tamper tools! What I originally did was grind off the screw heads with the rotary tool. In retrospect, I should have just ground a straight line across the screw heads so I could extract them with a flathead screw driver. Either way works but the second way, you don't fiddle around trying to get the screw stumps out before you can put it back together with new screws. Next grind off the plastic anti-tamper tab or cut it with a utility knife.

The top should slide back then pop up and off after this step is complete.
