Einleitung

The small, plastic switch just under the screen and just above the hand crank is quite fragile. You may find that it becomes damaged and needs to be replaced. Luckily, it's not too difficult to do!

    • Pull the plastic tab on the battery compartment cover panel to loosen it, then pull the panel off.

  2. uOYpjTeDJjao3LUt

    • Disconnect the battery pack wires from the device and remove the battery pack.

  3. EHEVnR3UKaEmLb1I

    • On the bottom of the device case's face are two T10 screws. Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the two screws.

  4. D41kMZxHVUvlRD4x

  5. 6IIb2YeCn5IWBOBg

    • Remove the two Phillips #00 screws located in the center of the back of the device.

    • You will need to use a thin shafted screwdriver or a female hexagonal bit that is found in the iFixit 54 bit toolkit to extend the reach of the Phillips #00 bit.

  6. toXmCxQhZPTCO6fp

    • On the bottom of the device's case there are two rubber feet. Pry the rubber feet off of the case.

    • Try to keep the adhesive on the rubber feet as clean as possible to insure that they can be reattached during reassembly.

  7. dlhbDh5OLXBVC2DD

    • Pull the two halves of the device's case apart.
