This step is easy: apply firm pressure to the flat bend of the metal backplate at the top of the battery well, and the two metal tabs at the top of the plate should slide into the slots at the top, locking the electronics into place.

Retrieve your screws from their safe storage location, and replace them in the top of the player. Place the power switch cover over the black power switch, and ensure it works by sliding the switch through all 3 positions - spring to off/off, and switched to locked. The switch cover itself will fit in two ways, but should only go in one way, with the face of the player towards you, the open side of the ridge on the bottom of the switch cover is also towards you.

Stick the top cover back on. If it's not sticky any more, then I'm not sure what to tell you... perhaps a little rubber cement will work (VERY LITTLE), so that if needed you can remove the cover again in the future.

I didn't take pictures of these two steps: insert the battery and replace the battery cover.

Come on, you need pictures?

Now that the physical work is done, we need to format the new drive, install the new firmware, and re-load the device with music.
