1) use a blanket or towel , find a book that is thicker than the length of the joystick
2) place the Poly front side down with the book right next to the joystick so that no weight is bearing on the joystick
3) remove all of the screws around the perimeter of the keyboard, note where the short screws go and the long ones
4) remove the two screws found roughly in the center of the bottom half of the Poly

5) open up your Poly by hinging the two halves so that the bottom of the keyboard is lying in front of the upper section
6) continue working on your sense of humor

You still have to remove the key bed machine screws, not just the screws around the perimeter, or the bottom and top will not separate.

Open it how? In what sequence should the screws be removed? and once open are their any wires connecting the lid I should be aware of? How about the keys? are they in any immediate danger once opened?

These and about a hundred other useful considerations are the type of knowledge people don't seem too eager to share.

But hey...you had an opportunity to be oh-so-witty and glib, you must be a killer at cocktail parties, it's a gift use it wisely...

Anyone else care to help? I've extensively modded Volcas and would be willing to tech support any such ventures in return for a little detailed 411, too bad I need to barter for help, but if that's the way it is around here, so be it.
