I have a WRT54GL that I want to see if I can repair. Something smells hot. It probably isn't worth the effort. My question is: How do you get the darn thing open without destroying the case. I'm sure it snaps together, but I haven't found the secret to "unsnapping" it.
Thanks,

I usually disassemble every electronic device I've ever owned and photograph it. I have removed about thirty of these Linksys WRT54GL devices. It sounds counterintuitive, but the blue front faceplate/facade just pulls off. It is held by 2 plastic tabs on the dark gray body. Once you yank off the front, the bottom slides forward from the top/rear portion of the enclosure via 2 short rails on the bottom. You will see the 2 screws that hold the board to the bottom plastic enclosure plate.
