Can I repair this myself?

[Phantom fool]

Was flying and everything was OK until the ground rose up and grabbed my P3P out of the air. It seemed OK until I put it in the backpack and subsequently removed it. Upon removal, II think I squeezed too hard and one part of the shell seems to have separated (top from bottom) and is a little offset. This was not the result of the crash, rather my incredible hulk-like strength pulling the aircraft from the case.

Pic is below. Question is, can I repair this myself or is this something I have to send it back for? I'm not sure how to take the shell apart to re-align everything. Is there a video on how to do that somewhere?

Here's a video showing how to take the shell apart:

Thanks msinger. So do you think I cab just open it and re-align the shell, or does it need to be replaced?

I had this happen to mine on one side. If you manage to look at a picture of the casing you will see that one half clips into the other. If you know how it goes for me it was just a matter of squeezing the correct half to manipulate it back into the clip. To split the case may leave you having to do the same procedure but all around.

I think you can pop it back in place. It'll probably require opening the shell though.

I would just loosen the screws to start with and try and move it back together first and retighten . That has worked for me before.
Sometimes it hasn't and had to do as msinger said .

The shell snaps together, so loosening the screws probably won't help in this case. The OP might be able to push it back together. I wouldn't suggest forcing it too much though.

Squeeze the TOP half of the shell inward directly above those snap features, and apply a slight downward pressure. Do one at a time.

Aware as I have took mine apart
Loosen the screws will give it enough play to slip that lip back in place if that all it is .

Took it apart? Pretty sure you are intimately aware of most everything under that shell.
