With your hands, pry the back panel off the main case.

If some of your screws spin free but can’t be removed, it maybe that the screw posts have separated from the shell.

This makes separating the back panel more difficult, but it will still work.

The plastic used for the original silver nds may be the most prone to the UV damage that causes the plastic to become brittle.

Unlock the two large ribbon cables by moving the black clip up.
Carefully pull the ribbon cables down and out with your fingers.
Do not use pliers to pull the cables, as they can be damaged easily.

Benutze für die nächsten Schritte besser einen Spudger und keine Pinzette,

sonst läufst du Gefahr eines der Kabel oder die Platine selbst zu beschädigen.

Better use a Spudger, not a Tweezer for the next Steps.

That minimize the risk to demolish one of the wires or the mainboard himself.

Does anyone know where I can get a new connector for the P6 connector? I can only find them for the ds lite

"Slide the locks for the small ribbon cables down to the side, and remove the cables." Could mention that you are pushing them from the right to the left/towards where the cables are coming from. To the side sounds like towards the right edge
