The motherboard is the key to making every other part of the Alexa function, so many mystery issues might be linked back to a fault with the motherboard. As always, make sure you have grounded yourself and removed any static electricity by touching a metal surface before touching any circuitry.

    • After the screws are removed, grip the front panel and separate the front from the back. This will expose the inside of the device.

    • Use tweezers or your hands to carefully disconnect the red wires connecting the speakers to the power supply board.

    • Visually locate the motherboard within the device. It is the large green panel right above the speakers.

    You forgot the speaker grill and all the screws behind it to open the device. Fail!

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Make sure that the ring on the black wire is attached between the circuit board and the screw, and that the black tape on the end is lined up as well.

Where can I find a new mother board

ralphm1944 -

can board be repaired ?

Peter Lewis -

Sorry, but this instruction is simply WRONG and missing some important part.

Between step 2 and step 3, you will have to peel off the speaker grille AND the glass screen of the device - behind those are also a lot of screws!! Without unscrewing them, you will NOT get your echo open.

You know that this is necessary by the way, because you mention it in your echo show teardown video.. so i do not understand why these important steps are missing here?

It is a worthless effort to show a repair process, unless there exist a source for the replaceable repair part or circuit board component.
