Was du brauchst

-
To start off, power off the computer, remove the CHIP on the back.
-
You shouldn't need any special tools for this, but it might be a little tight, so you might need to wiggle it a bit.

Next, we need to remove the LiPo battery.
-
First, we need to unplug it from the CHIP. Simply pull it from the connector.
-
There is some adhesive holding the battery to the main board. I found twisting it while pulling worked wonders.
-
-
-
The screen connector was hidden by the battery. Now that it's revealed, we can do our thing.
-
Pull the black bar up on both sides. It should come out completely.
-
You can now pull the ribbon cable up.
-
-
-
There is some adhesive behind the screen. I put a card behind it and kind of sawed it off to remove it.

-
That's it, we've taken apart the Pocket chip! The only pieces are
-
The main board with the keyboard
-
The main CHIP computer
-
The LiPo battery
-
The screen
-
And the back case.
