Taking Apart the Slider

Hey All,

I have a mechanical question. I bought a new face for my slider and took it to the store and they put it on for me. Well, now there is all this dust under it and it's really bothering me and going to the store is really out of the way for me so i want to do it myself.

So here is my question, how do i take the thing apart? Does anyone know or can anyone provide me a link on how to do this. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

snafu has created a great webpage for this. Here's his link:

http://kslider.homestead.com/takeapart.html

If you click on my slider.doc link below, it also will give you tips and tricks to taking apart the case on page 12 (and a lot of other info).

Do be careful when taking it apart though. The little ribbon cable between the two sliding pieces is fragile!

Oh.. I used to get dust in my screen too.. I used a VERY LIGHT layer of Elmer's glue on the border of the screen's window plate (the silver part of the pic below) ON THE INSIDE of the CASE (of course, not on the electronics!).
