Hi sorry but i didn't see any mention of prying in the video link for Base Enclosure.

 

thanks

What she means is its a zipping action. You remove the screws then work a prying device in where you see a small opening like back by the hinges. You will feel some plastic hooks start to pop apart and once it starts keep it going by applying modest pressure on the prying tool around the outside. The bottom will not come straight up you will pull it off at an angle. 

 

See at about 5:30 into this video. Not your model but this gives a good idea of the effort it can take.

Hi, I understand that and all clips are free on all four sides.  I can see  through the inside of the unit from one side to the other but the middle area refuses to come free.

 

I'll give it another go.

 

Thanks.

Every time I have been at that point (more than a couple) it turns out I have overlooked a screw.

I agree with @Huffer Probably one screw still in the case. On some models there is even one under a lable right off center. I believe the model in the video I posted shows where that screw is. Maybe check for that on yours.
