How do I open this radio up please, so that I can fit the earphone socket that Sony fits as standard on all units except those sold in the UK?
I've taken the 5 screws out, and it opens 20mm at the back, but really does not want to separate at the front.....
Anyhting under the batteries ...presuming there are batt's

I should have said - it's a mains, FM/MW/LW digital push-button machine
- no batteries. All very swish plastic curves, and a Christmas present, so I don't want to break it.
Look for other screws hidden under sticky labels, and also plastic latching clips between materials. Sometimes you may have to accept colateral damage in performing the operation. A little heat from a hairdryer may help soften the plastic a bit. Just go slow!
Here is a picture, it might help someone to suggest something.
Take it to ye friendly local dentist ...

3 lugs in fact, 2 out of sight. Managed to pop them without damage one after the other going very carefully. Thanks everyone!In message , Roger writes
Right all done - now has headphone socket, is reassembled, and - wait for it - still works!
