Sega Nomad help

[gunsnroses]

Hey guys, I'm new around here. I joined so I could get help on fixing my Nomad from some of the greater Sega experts here. What happened is the brightness wheel fell inside the unit, so I took out the screws to get it out. I did, but I noticed the unit doesn't open all the way. Now I have the brightness wheel and Nomad, but I don't know how to get the wheel back inside. Can anyone help?

For the unit not opening completely, have you checked the battery compartment for more screws?

I've never had, nor will I ever see a Nomad, so more specific help I cannot give.

Just took apart my nomad last night, didn't have any problems opening it all the way. Opens up like a clamshell and just set the two halves down next to each other.

did you ever fix the wheel?

My Nomad brightness wheel just fell off as well. I've removed the 4 corner screws, however, the final screw behind the battery pack doesn't appear to be a screw at all. Looks like some sort of stud. This is preventing me from opening the unit all the way.

Is there a secret to this?
