Eclipse T180 MP3 remove casing & Belt Clip 3 Steps

Basically there is a **TINY** screw just above the belt clip, which must come out. I actually used a flat-head watch screwdriver tilted because I didn't have a phillips screwdriver which is what you should use. Once I had the screw out it is a simple matter of pushing down vertically on the top portion of the player where all the buttons are - the metal casing will slide down and off. I actually took the belt clip off before I realized it didn't have screws hidden beneath it and I probably could have slid the case off without removing the clip. If you want to remove the clip, there is a small 1" metal pin that passes through the hinge and spring - if you still have your smallest watch screwdriver, you can push that pin out by pushing the screwdriver against that pin from right to left when the clip is facing towards you/looking from back. Once you push the pin so far so that it is extruding from the other side, you can grab the protruding end (it is crimped so you cannot push it from the left side) with pliers and pull it all the way through. This will release the clip and spring.
