There is a screw under the shiny UL sticker. Remove sticker and screw to remove this bottom panel. There are two tabs holding the panel into clock/light, so you might have to wiggle panel forward and out to remove it.

Next we need to gain access to more screws.

Flipping the light upside down will present a small section of the bezel that can be pried upward. It is a small plastic strip with hooks that have to be disengaged to be removed. (tricky)
Getting this section off/out without damaging it is nearly impossible. It’s hooked under the rear rim and it is held down by three clips. I ended up cutting the little bows that connect it to the back and then used pliers on one side to, well, basically break it out…
This stage was tricky but by poking a small flat-head screwdriver in alongside the tabs shown in the photo and twisting, I was able to remove it in one piece. Careful studying of of the image above shows where you need to go. Thanks for this excellent guide, I would never have figured this out without it.
Use a plastic tool or a something like a credit card to get that part out: it won’t break it and it is actually quite easy to remove (same tool used for smartphone)
Wow, this would have been impossible to do without seeing the pic of the part! I managed to get it free using a tiny flat-head screwdriver to the clip (all three, one by one) and a larger one pushing up on the rim simultaneously.

We can finally unscrew two more Philips head screws to remove the button ring.
Lift one end of the ring, tilting it toward the back of the alarm clock. That will get the bows out from under the rear rim so you can start removing it..

Now the screws holding the front screen shield need to be removed and the shield can be pulled away to the front.
-
Unscrew the four screws holding the inner screen assembly in place.
-
-
-
The inner screen assembly can be pulled out slightly to reveal tabs on each side that hold the assembly in.
-
Pry the back tabs inwards to release.

The screen is connected to the plastic domed back with holes. There are two screws at the back of the base of this domed panel. Remove screws to remove screen.

Awesome teardown except for one little thing…
The factory sticker shows this is a 3530 which may not be different from a 3520. However, the bottom plate screw MUST be removed in order to separate the two halves. It is a little confusing saying “The bottom panel does not help gaining access to more screws. See next step.” I took that as being unnecessary, so skip.
I was able to fix my speaker inside it i got this alarm at a thrift store for cheap turns out the one wire just needed a better conenction to get working thank you for the steps to get to it
The first photo of step 5 is a little misleading, it looks like you are unscrewing something, it made me look for the screws
Other than that this was very helpful, thank you
3520 is very similar with the first steps identical. Many thanks for this guide!
I needed to get to the little switches because they are apparently the reason for a malfunction syndrome consisting of clicking noise and disabled menu sensors (according to a post which I have now lost the track of - my apologies). I gave the switches a gentle squirt of the well known panaceum known as WD40 which they sucked in greedily, following which I exercised them a little until the click sound became clear. Reassembling was a doddle. Now I am waiting for the WD40 to (mostly) evaporate while keeping my fingers crossed (this is a good procedure and a form of exercise). Then I shall switch the light on and we shall see how successful I was. Thanks again!
There is one screw under this tab that's hold the front ring attached in fact. I guess you should have removed it too before prying this ring open
