Topic: How to pull apart
For the life of me i can not believe there is not a guide or video or even anything relating to how to pull apart a chumby, so could someone please create a guide on how to pull it apart and use the serial lines etc.

Re: How to pull apart
bunnie gives a pretty good description on his blog...thats what I used 
Do a forum search too, I've posted on a usb-serial converter...
Re: How to pull apart
Well thats wonderful and all, but i found nothing on how to open the chumby at all on bunnies blog and you have neither posted anything about opening the device.
Theres plenty on how to do stuff once its open but there is NOTHING anywhere about how to open the bloody thing with out literally breaking the device from attempting a brute force open.

Go here and scroll down to the Modifying the Chumby Core title
Re: How to pull apart
Thanks a more specific location is always helpful so to remove the screen you just peel up the rubber that attaches it to the case? is it easy to put back into place leaving no marks that you did it?

That's how I did it (peeled the rubber off of the screen bezel). I found it kind of hard to get back in - the chumby is pretty stuffed with polyfill. I had to try a couple times. It works fine, but seems a little different than when I first got it. No marks when taking it apart.

Sorry about that, I did a google search and came up with bunnies blog and straight to the pulling back the rubber bit rather quickly...
A direct link to the serial then is
