Very similar for the 4FL60 and 6000, except in :

Step 1 the screws are visible without removing any stickers

Step 4 hint: to release the ribbon, each end of the white bar has a self-sprung clip to ease away, try not to break them. And for the models above there is a small cable plug to unclip

Step 5 there are 5 screws holding the motherboard

Step 6 it is necessary to unclip plugs for the battery and speaker leads

and vice versa for reassembly
