Device disassembly
When you remove 2 screws at top corners of the back side, you can simply take off the plastic cover.

Locating the UART
The Mele M3 has a 4 pin 2.0 pitch JST-PH connector available for its UART0 port (same as Mele A1000). This is the same as some 90s analog audio cables which ran from a CDROM to the sound card. More information is available at our UART howto.
