Removing the lid will give you easy access to all components inside.
To remove the lid, you’ll need to unscrew the 4 thumbscrews from the back of the Thelio.
These thumbscrews will be on the top left and right, and bottom left and right of the back of the
case.
Do not unscrew any screws in the center of the panel here, as those screws correspond with
parts inside; removing them will not assist you in removing the lid.
