Introduction

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to replace your Echo Dot's PCB which has the LEDs, Microphone, and Buttons. It shouldn't take long, just a few screws!

Tools

Step 1

Turn your Dot around, so that the Barcode is facing up, and the buttons down.

Step 2

Using a Spudger remove the Lid.
There's Adhesive under the lid, so the best way to get it off, is to go all the way around with the Spudger

Step 3

Unscrew the 4 T6 Torx screws using the Right Screwdriver
After unscrewing, you can slowly lift the shell, and you'll be greeted by the insides of the Dot!

Step 4

Unscrew the 3 T6 Torx screws,
and lift the flex cable connector.
After that, very carefully remove the PCB/Power supply (no idea).

Step 5

Remove the 4 T6 Torx screws (2 different lengths!)
Slowly Remove the Middle part
Be very careful while removing the middle part, so that you don't damage the cable!
