Huh? What is the way to open the case with denting it?

(Hint: Remove the screws first...)  ;)
Shock:
Dave shows the general idea in this video. Careful about putting the instrument on it's face though especially on a hard bench.

Meh, I'm tired, I've seen the ones hidden by the handle but postponed the opening for the next days.

If the power button interferes, pull it off.  Don't break the switch the way I did.  Replacement on its way from China, but I felt pretty stupid.  I *do* know better.

It's really just the two screws behind the handle, and another two on the bottom. The plastic enclosure then opens easily, no hidden plastic latches or such. If I recall correctly, you don't even have to take off the front, but can remove the back only. If you want to remove the front too, pull off all the knobs first. No need to remove the power button, in my experience.

The internal metal enclosure is held together by quite a few screws, but they are all clearly visible. Again, no further trickery with latches or such; the enclosure opens quite easily. (But beware of sharp edges of the punched metal.)

All screws are the same Torx size, by the way. Rigol did a pretty nice job designing a robust and serviceable enclosure.
