==Step 4 - Remove the motherboard==

The motherboard is held in place by two screws: one in the center near the cartridge slot and the other in the corner by the RAM chips. Remove those screws and lift the board from the back so you can slide the expansion slot out of the bottom RF shield. If you also need to remove the bottom RF shield, it can be lifted effortlessly out of the case since it has no screws. Congratulations, you've completely disassembled your [[ColecoVision]]. ==Reassembly==[[File:Colecovision-teardown07.jpg|thumb|150px]]There are a few things to keep in mind when putting the [[ColecoVision]] back together. The first is that the top and bottom RF shields interlock above the expansion slot, so don't forget to make sure the tabs slide into place (see picture). Also, the position of the power cords matters since you don't want them to get pinched and prevent the case from being fully closed. And don't forget to put the power switch and reset button back on! Now to what you were probably wondering about: reattaching the top of the case. It's easier than taking it off but can still be a bit tricky. I suggest first setting the back of the top into place and allowing the front to rest as seen in the picture.
