I change the battery on our GPS a year ago. I apparently had no problems getting the back off because I did replace the battery. There is an issue now with the plug that I need to address but now I cannot get the back off. I cannot see the screws. I can’t tell what screws they are everywhere I’ve seen it says it’s a T5. It doesn’t look like there’s anything in there. I found a video where they were having the exact same problem with the traffic updates and it turns out that the shielding for the plug needs to be re-soldered to the PCB, but I can’t get the fool back off..

Any ideas?image.jpg

Ah, i have examined this thing with all kinds of optics and i didnt see any evidence of fasteners so i just used my spudgers and separated the case. I must have decided last year no way in hell this would separate on its own and did not replace the torx screws. COMMAND GAMBLE PAID OFF!
