Opening TP-Link Av1300 powerline adapter

[dlondon]

Hi,

 

In one of my finer moments I decided to strew a glass of water across my desk. Unfortunately, my powerline adapter sitting behind the desk wasn't happy.

Long story short I need to open it up to see what's in need of repair (it is fully dry now). It has 4 screws on the back which I removed, but it seems like the case won't pull apart.

I'm not sure if I need to remove the antennae first. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

(with UK plug)
