    • Slip a small plastic opening tool underneath the screen bezel, gently sliding it around the inside edge.

    • Starting at the corners, carefully pry up the screen bezel.

    Some models have 2 Torx T-6 screws that must be removed first. One is under the C in the FC mark, the other is at the very beginning of the white bar code field. The bezel may be black with a silver stripe on the outside.

    • Slide a small plastic opening tool under the top portion of the metal frame and gently lift it up.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool around the inner edge of the metal frame until it feels loose.

    • It may take some time to release the frame from the housing. Some force may be necessary—but be careful not to bend the frame's fragile interior bracket.

    • Remove the frame from the housing.

    • Remove the three Phillips #00 screws connecting the motherboard to the plastic housing:

    • Two Phillips #00 screws are located at the bottom of the first picture.

    • The third screw is hidden under the orange ribbon cable, near the screen.

    • You may have to carefully lift the screen in order to reach this screw.

    The ribbon cable can be removed. Loosen the ribbon cable by carefully sliding the white plastic strip away from the black part. There’s some sticky stuff under the cable, but it’s possible to unstick the cable if done carefully.

Note: There are several variants of this. Some of them have 2 screws on the bottom under the stickers. You'll need to remove those first.

nathanrenniewaldock is right... I cracked my screen before finding the hidden screws on the bottom. what a silly company to use the same name for different models!

I just cut the wires and soldered them together

Yep: I didn't have a clue that there were two tiny screws under the label on the bottom - Now I'm hoping that it will "snap" back together OK. Live and Learn whether you want to or not........ lol

Great demo. It was perfect for me

Dont be tempted to fit a higher capacity battery. They are slightly thicker. Tom Tom designed it so that there is space for the battery to swell which they often do. The larger capacity batteries leave no room for this to happen.

On the model above without the two screws under the label, gently pry the top and bottom of the screen surround up about 3mm to disengage the lugs. Now slide both sides down about 3mm. The sides of the screen surround will disengage from their locating lugs.

When I opened the frame one of the small plastic links broke off, but not too serious. The model was bought in ‘91. The rest was easy.

I was struggling a bit, so pulled off the sticker strip at the bottom and found the 2 screws mentioned by others.

Then I followed this excellent guide. Purchased recommended replacement battery.

This ‘ancient navigator’ is back in operation, and suits me weill i.e. it’s cost just the battery.

TomTom kindly offered a replacement for only about $300 [for what I recall cost about $80 years ago], but I decided that I’m happy with my ‘ancient navigator’,

and spending the money on other things … And they’ve updated the map etc (for the last time of course) for free.

Lovely to have this ‘antique’ back in operation. Big thanks to Ifixit and Sean.
