How do I open my h2210?

[akirayuki]

Hello, everyone!

I have a problem with my H2210...
The joypad doesn't work very well anymore and I think it's because I dropped the PDA and maybe the pad under joypad has become dislodged.
I want to open it to see if this is the case, or to see if I just need to replace the joypad.

I've removed all the screws (and those under the battery cover) and managed to prise apart the top half of the case. However, I'm struggling to open the bottom half. It's jammed shut and doesn't appear to have any way of opening.

I'm hoping someone here has had experience of opening a H2200 series PPC and could possibly give me some advice. I really want to get this fixed because I play a lot of games on it.

Thanks in advance!

Akira

Although i have never done this my self, if you take the side grips off there are some screws there (ignore the 'you will void the warrenty' sticker) i cant remember if they are under the sticker or not.

Hopes this helps. 8)
