Einleitung

This replacement will allow for easier removal if any other repairs are needed in the future.

  1. RyCNZ2myXctyfrZT

    • Caution: the back pad is secured with glue so remove it gently to avoid ripping the pad. You may have to repeatedly pull and release to loosen up the glue.

    • First start by peeling off the outer rubbery covering on the bottom of the device. This part is very fragile, so it is recommended that a blow dryer is used on the covering to heat it up. Simply blow dry the covering while slowly peeling it away, and the covering will not tear.

    • Continue peeling back on the pad until it is removed.

    • Place double sided tape along the sides of the bottom of the device as shown, this will allow for the rubber cover to stick back on but still be accessible in the future

    • Repeat steps for all four sides

    • Line up rubber cover along the bottom of the device.

    • Press down firmly to secure the rubber cover onto place.

    On my well-aged unit, it was not necessary to apply heat, just to work slowly and carefully.

    The pad came away cleanly and all of the old adhesive remained on the plastic body of the unit.

    It was not necessary to use double-sided tape, as the pad re-adhered adequately without it and remained easy to remove.
