Anyone know how to safely open the case on a PMID10C? The miniUSB port is broken.

Opened it but...
I wedged a guitar pic into the seam at the outer front edge of the tablet, and worked it all the way around and the case was opened with no damage. I found the 4 solder tabs on the mini USB port loose due to poor soldering. The plastic pin guide was broken and 1 pin on the port was found to be bent. I glued the pin guide with epoxy but broke the pin trying to straighten it.
I may try to solder a small wire to replace the broken pin but for now, I am charging it with the AC charger and moving files with WI-FI or SD card.
I recommend everyone owning a PMID10c, open the case and resolder the tabs on the 4 corners of the mini USB port before they break loose.
