First make sure that the DVD player can actually turn on, this is a deconstruct but we want to make sure there are no major issues

Remove the screws on the outside edge of the top covering with the bottom of the DVD Player down

There will be 3 Screws, two on either side and 1 in the center top of the back side of the DVD Player

Gently cleave open the top case from the bottom case using your hands

The inside should appear as the second photo

Remove the 3 screws, the two upper screws swill require a smaller screwdriver

The second images two screws will require the larger screwdriver, make sure to not strip these

Remove all ribbons with great care gently wiggling side to side while applying force perpendicular to the circuit board

Remove the clips around the edge of the front face, there may very well be more than I show in these pictures, but make sure to do this before you proceed

There are two on the bottom that you press together to unclip the DVD reader

Gently tug Upwards using the front face of the DVD Player as a pivot, make sure that no clips are still connected

If you were successful you will notice the lip cover for the DVD tray has been removed and can be downward slid back on

Gently tilt up the board making sure to check the ribbon connections twice

Remove the screws on the back plate(side with all the ports)

Press in the very small and fragile tabs(image 2) with a flathead, nail, or other small tipped objects

turn the knob as seen in the third picture to align the hole in the case with the knob wings

Unplug the power cable from the circuit board, pay attention to the tab on the side, press it down and pull

Pull back the two tabs on either side of the back case and pull away

Gently slide off the copper slip around the ports if there is evidence of corrosion

Place in vinegar(preferably apple cider) for 30 minutes to an hour to remove the corrosion from the copper slip

Check to make sure that you have everything if you plan to reassemble this project
