    Glofish M700 - How To Open Print E-mail

    Apple Glofish

    Before you begin

  • Read the legal guidelines on this website. Place your Glofish on a clean flat and soft surface, such as a rubber mat or a piece of soft cloth and get the required opening tools

    		•

    Step 1

     

     

     

     

    Step 2

     

    Step 3

    Slide the tool all along the bottom to the edge of the iPod.

    Step 4

    You can try to slide the tool all the way around the edge. If that fails, reinsert the tool of the right side.

    Step 5

    Slide the tool up toward the middle. Repeat the last steps until you created a gap large enough to insert the flathead screwdriver.

    Step 6

    Repeat the last steps and twist the safe open tool. Carefully pry down using the small flathead. You will need to apply some force here and be patient until the backplate will come loose.

     

    Step 7

    Repeat step 6 at different sections of the side. If the gap is large enough you may be able to use the flathead alone. The flathead will speed up the process but also damage the backplate more.

    Step 8

    Slide the plastic tool around the upper right edge thereby creating a gap at the top.

    Step 9

    Use the flathead here as well to extend the gap and make the internal metal clips of the backplate release from the frontplate.

    Step 10

    Slide the soft opening tool around the upper left corner thereby creating a gap on the left side.

    Step 11

    Apply the same method here. The backplate will increasingly feel loose and move around in the process, but the metal clips on the inside may still hold on to the frontplate.
