By removing the four screws you only release the back panel of the Electronics Board and Sockets on the Woofer unit. It takes quite a bit of manipulating to get it out as Creative have "Creatively" put very short speakers leads in the unit which does not allow easy removal. You can unsolder the woofer leads to remove the whole assembly, however make sure that you put the red and black leads back in the right holes on the pcb when re-assembling. As for the satellite speakers, unless you have a good reason to open them.....my advice is don't. Sometimes the attitude of the makers of these things is that if it fails the user will most likely discard it. If it doesn't come apart easily you have no option but to apply some reasonable force. Why do this....just for the heck of it?
When it is working normally this really is an excellent performer as a computer multimedia 2.1 channel system.

I disassembled mine here the pictures for illustration

1. Open front grill using minus tipped screw drive. Grill is glued with the cabinet so do not apply too much force
2. Unscrew sub-woofer and de-solder sub-woofer wires. Put sub-woofer in safe place.
3. Unscrew amplifier at back and pull it out.

You are done.
