Wasn't sure if I should post here or the sound city forum, but seeing as I need to fix this kitchen DAB radio myself, maybe some DIY'ers can help. I've removed 3 out of 4 screws, I simply cannot get the last screw out in the top left corner, and the screw holes are quite deep. The screws are about 3/4" inch long. But I also can't see how it's meant to come apart. I'm not sure if the alan key screws on the front are meant to come off and I don't have a key the right size. The on/off button doesn't work anymore, can't turn it on. It used to come on after plenty of continual pressing. I don't know if it's fixable if I do manage to take it apart. I could have course just bin it and buy another one (not Logik anymore, as it's Curry's crappy own brand), but otoh, it might be an easy fix. Does anyone know how to take this apart? When I press on the screw that I can't remove in the top left corner, it pushes the front grill out a bit, but none of the other screwholes seem to. I can't get any movement if I try to pull out the back casing, even on the sides with removed screws.

 
Got dab radio, not same make,found that front hex screw don't unscrew, but provide the fixing point for the rear screws.

One thing I found when taking it apart, was screws were philips head, & not pozi.

Yeah Nightglow, I'm assuming these are phillips. I've just got some cheap long handle screwdrivers with phillips heads; they removed 3 of them but the last one I can neither see what's going on or feel any movement. Thanks for the info about the hex screws, at least those are ruled out.
 
Try using a fine slotted screwdriver that fits the philips head, that will sometimes shift a stubbon screw.
