Is there a way to disassemble the Bose companion 5 control pod?

There are two screws located under the bottom sticky pad that hold down the silver face plate. Push on the pad with your finger until you see two dimples and then insert a small Philips screwdriver to unscrew the screws.

Unfortuantely, there is not much you can repair in the control pod except for a broken solder joint or a torn wire.
