Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

That is fantastic, thank you! It's not so bad I considered replacing it - almost nothing short of complete failure or battery death will prompt me to buy a new one - but it'd be awesome to fix the noise issue.

I didn't even think about looking for a fix. IME, they're basically glued together, and I didn't consider they'd have any accessible screws.
