Just be careful if you plan to remove or disassemble any part inside. As you
may imagine, it's pretty tight in there so that parts are tiny and easily
lost. There are a few things that also need to be put together the exact
right way, or they won't work/fit perfectly.
Other than that, it's relatively easy to open. Be careful with the case, as
it may seems hard to remove at first. You need to pry it open from the
battery compartment and open it up. Then, you'll be able to remove it from
the top of the Newton.
