A few years back I had to open up the old Compact and used the occasion to shoot a how to video on how remove the plastic shell. I neglected uploading said video out of sheer laziness, but here it is, it took a whole 30 seconds of work.
My memory is hazy, but I think I also short a second part with information about diassembling the different parts on the inside of the Compact, but that one must have vanished into the aether, sorry lads.
