If you're asking for assistance, the model would be a useful start.

It will probably require opening the player.

I did a quick search for that thing…
A (partially) water resistant device is more or less sealed and clicked together pretty tight (or even contains a ton of adhesive). Rarely as easy as opening some screws.

it's pretty worn-out already. the clip fell off, the protective seals for the headphone jack and the charging port have already fallen off, one earbud went out on the included earbuds, i lost the maunal, and the cover for the volume buttons is already off (i peeled it when i was trying to find out what was wrong with the volume up button) and the volume up button fell out. i mean, before it fell out it was so jammed in there that i could just make a hole in the plastic covering. and also this little white thing fell out with it.

I don't see the reason why… it is extra effort to prevent the forum software from embedding videos (I find them annoying).
But… okay:
