How to take router apart?

A NOOB question......

I am afraid I have to open my R7000 to make a serial connection.
​Yes, it hangs, is bricked, not accessible anymore, not even with tftp / tftp2 / telnet.

The reset procedure via a serial connection is described well in various topics here, I am confident I can manage that part.

However, how do I open the router?
​I see 1 (one) Philips screw approximately in the centre of the bottom plate, that is all.​

How do I remove the top cover?

I am sure there is somebody on this forum who has been through this.
​Please advise me!?

There are additional screws under the rubber feeet / pads.

The thing is open now smiley

I prefer a hammer and blow torch, but hey, screws work.
