Wobbly handle - CQ20B - how to disassemble?

hey.
One of the handles on the side of my CQ20B is wobbly. I tried to disassemble the unit so that I could get to the screws which hold the handles on but after removing the little screws and opening it all up, I can’t see how to loosen the sides. The rubber bumpers must be covering up some remaining screws but I can’t see how to get the sides off without brutish force and I don’t want to break something.

Any help or resources?

** Update **.

The distributor tried to get a free repair for me but as it is just outside of warranty, they declined. Quoted me £45 ph labour plus parts plus shipping plus VAT.

So I took it all apart myself - not too difficult although the plastic LED light redirectors near the digital IO board (SD card etc.) are fiddly.

You have to literally take EVERYTHING off. Did that, tightened it all up, put it all back together and everything works fine again. About 90 minutes total.

Be careful when removing boards - you don’t have to separate the logic board from the audio IO board. I did but found out that I needn’t have. Also no need to remove the risers - they stay on the analogue IO board.
