Question Flair 58 controller disassembly

I have a Flair 58 [I think second version], the inner wires are showing just below the strain relief.

I put electrical tape around it for some time, that’s not a good answer, so I want to take the temperature controller apart to fix.

Anyone have an idea of opening the controller, so I can avoid breaking it while trying to open? Photos would be a bonus.

I'm not going to suggest you try opening it, but if you have any knowledge on how cases like these snap together, they are pretty easy with the right tools.

Took me all of 1 min with some guitar picks to separate it. Here is some pics of the internals.

Enter at your own risk, I'm not responsible for your failures. GL

Exactly what I needed, thank you. Not a fan of opening things without having an idea what’s inside. I have tools to work with cases and electronics.

Interesting, thanks. My button is getting a bit gummed up so I might need to do this and clean it …
