    • Remove the All-In-One Cable from the cable guides along the left side of the head strap.

    • During reassembly, connect the All-In-One Cable to the headset before routing it through the cable guides. This will ensure it has the right amount of slack.

    • Lift the All-in-One cable bracket straight off the headset and remove it.

    • The bracket is aligned on the headset with pegs. During reassembly, make sure the pegs align properly and the bracket sits flush on the headset.

    • The four screws securing the outer shell are covered with black stickers. If the stickers are difficult to remove, simply press your T6 Torx driver through them.

    • Insert an opening pick into the seam between the two halves of the outer shell.

    • Slide the opening pick through the seam to dislodge the clips securing it to the headset.

    • Only insert the opening pick as far as necessary. There are ribbon cables underneath the outer shell.

    • Carefully slide each half of the outer shell off of the sensor array.

    • Be careful not to snag any of the ribbon cables underneath.

Conclusion

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
