Stap 3

Remove the following eight screws:
Four 15.1 mm Phillips #2 screws near the front of the device.
Four 12.7 mm Phillips #2 screws near the back of the device.
The slots for the four 12.7 mm screws are very narrow, so you will need a slender, Phillips #2 screwdriver that does not feature replaceable heads in order to reach them.

Stap 4

Turn the iHome 180 degrees so the speaker grille is facing you. Carefully lift the bottom case away from the rest of the body and tilt it as shown.
Be careful and do not yank the bottom case. A white ribbon wire is the only thing that connects the bottom case to the rest of the device.
Using a pair of tweezers, detach the white ribbon cable. Make sure to pull on the ribbon, not on the head.
The lower case can now be completely removed from the device!
