    Looks like the top clips off, feel the raised edge.

          If it's the same as the F5, then there will be 2 clips along the front, 5 clips along the back & 3 along each side.

          I'm not sure of the best technique for opening them though, as I managed to break off all 6 of the side clips, while leaving the front & back ones intact.

          I used a thin butter knife (which I use for opening monitor cases).

          If you shine a torch through the narrow ventilation slots, you can just about see where the clips are. Perhaps if you try to push the clips in while prising the lid upwards, you will have better luck than me.

          On the F5, there are a couple of clips on the bottom of the case which go through slots on the circuit board. There is a couple of mm play in them. My circuit board also had 2 screws holding it in place. Sounds like yours may be missing.
