Dismantle the Cartridge
 
  1. Using a flathead screwdriver, pry off the smart cell on the bottom of the cartridge by placing the screwdriver blade under a corner of the smart cell and lifting up. The chip is glued on and should release fairly easy.

  1. Starting at the narrow end of the cartridge, insert the flathead screwdriver into the seam of the cartridge, then twist the screwdriver slightly to loosen the two outside pieces of housing. Repeat at various points around the seam.
