Default Sharp GF-1704

Can anyone advise please, I am trying to repair this device but cannot remove the covers in spite of removing all visible screws and knobs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Are there any screws in the battery compartment that you may have missed ?

No, I found that one early on. The problem seems to be near the top of the set around the area of the middle screw, but thanks for the suggestion Jolly 7.

You also usually need to open the cassette door by pressing eject too, not that specific model but on similar Sharp models the front comes off first.
