How do I open my MM8

[Ced Sidewnder]

Hi,
Can someone who is keyboard 'tech savvy, please tell me How to open up, as in take the top off of my MM8 synth? (An authorized Yamaha technician would be ideal, but not necessary). If you have a visual diagram, that'd be great. Also, are there any "special" tools needed?
I'm REALLY STRAPPED financially. I had some repair work done to my board several years ago and while the repair was a success, it was a part that cost about $6 and took less than an hour to complete. I paid $300. I KNOW an input jack is NOT that expensive, NOR is it a complex
repair. (the repair mentioned earlier was the A.C/DC converter switch) Any USEFUL suggestions would be greatly appreciated
