I do recall having to be very careful levering the panels apart with a knife. I also recall breaking some of the tabs but there were enough available to keep the unit together and secure.

The one you have in your article is the same as mine (newer model) -- does not have a screw, and the ventilation slots run straight across, ie not the 'morse-code' pattern that is in all the guides on the net. Can you pls confirm that there are no hidden lugs to press down? but rather, only the two small 'catches' along the back edge lip that I can clearly see on your photos? Cheers for clarification -- this could be a lifesaver for me! Hi Ian, the guide you link is not for the same Mybook model that is in your article above.
