Hi folks, I'm looking for help to disassemble the Liberator. I've taken out the screws from the bottom plate, but it's either held by plastic tabs or more screws under the keyboard. Any hints? I'd love to dump the ROM contents and take pictures for the MAME folks.

Maybe these photos will help someone.
And I would be glad to see a photo of how the batteries are connected inside the power supply box.

Thanks, these photos will help a lot.
The original batteries were goners, this is a set that can theoretically be charged from USB via the extra leads attached to the little pcb. This didn't work, and I didn't pursue work on the Liberator any further because I didn't want to break it.

Thank you, I think my board is missing some part, maybe it's a 9 to 5 volt voltage regulator?

I've been informed that all screws are on the bottom, but there's one hidden behind a label that needs removing apparently.
