Taking the Archos apart requires a torx driver and a very small phillips head screwdriver. The phillips screwheads are about 2mm in diameter.

Also see the page dedicated to disassembling the archos.

The two circuit boards in the Archos are here called the "top" and "bottom" board. They are both populated on both sides.

Removing the bottom board involves bending a couple of metal holders that break very easily. Be careful. The board is connected via two pin connectors, one at each end.
