Yes, Please

I would be very, very interested in seeing pictures here. I would imagine it's possible but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the motherboard out without using a sledgehammer. Pictures, please, if you still have them?

Otherwise, written instructions would help, too. Thanks!!

I ruined a fob on my CL so I bought an empty one on Ebay for 29.99 new and took it apart, put in my key and my motherboard in the new case and it worked perfectly!
