Hi Ibrahim,
I probably shouldn't post these instructions to list as it will probably
void your warranty. I will wait for clarification, though the RNIB
probably say you should send back to them anyway. its relatively simple
though it requires the use of partitioning software in part and a little
sighted help to reinstall the voice. I'll contact you off list, if the
mods are happy for me to post disassembly instructions here then i will do.
Mo.
