screws at the front of the top board. There are 4-5 connection blocks on the
top board, and dismantling the top board only requires removing the 2 screws
connecting each connection block to the top board.
Scrape open the glass glue on the left and right sides of the top board with a
blade. If there is no blade, insert other thin blades into the gaps of the top
board and cut along the red line direction. After completion, the top board
can be removed.

do not match, the terminals can be cut off and docked, and electrical tape or
Wanke terminals can be used).
