    • Remove the positive and negative leads of the suction fan from the pcba.

    • Negative is T8 Torx, positive is PH2.

    • Disconnect the rest of the cables and remove the middle screw.

    • It is a T10 Torx.

    • Once the screw is removed, push the PCBA out. Simply push on the battery connector.

    • Back up top, pull the 2 top wires through the gap.

    • You will now have to push the little grey button and the red trigger button in while applying some upwards pressure to loosen the handle.

    • To remove the handle chassis, insert a prying tool into the marked gap.

    • Do not fit it into the bigger round hole to the left. Fit it into the hole on the right side, which is significantly tighter.

    • I use my looong Phillips screwdriver for this.

    • Then, simply apply adequate force in the direction of the arrow.

    • Now, pull the chassis off, but only enough to expose the pcba and not any more.

    • Remove the small screw from the PCBA. It is a Torx T6.

    • Disconnect the cable from the PCBA, then pull the other cables through the gap in the PCBA.

    • Remove the marked screws, then flip it over.

    • Unfold the foam filter out of the way, then remove the other 2 screws.

    • They're all Torx T10 screws.

    • Remove the chassis by bending the transparent plastic out of the way, and unlatching the latches.

    • Then pull it off.

    • Remove the 5 screws.

    • There is still a latch holding it together at the front. Use a prying tool to unlatch it.

    • Once you remove the suction fan assembly, you can disassemble it by taking these 3 screws off.

    • Once you have it open, you can pull out the suction fan. Do note that is going to be hard to get out, as it's pretty firmly stuck in there.

    • Forcing the suction fan out runs a high chance of delidding it. I haven't noticed any performance drops after reattaching the lid back on, though.

    • All of the screws are sorted by steps and have the sizes written next to them. Use this as a reference during reassembly if needed.

Great thanks! My power button was stuck, with your guide I quickly took the handle apart and sanded down the power button around the top part (It looks like there was a small friction groove from use, which caught the power button from time to time). Now it's back together and working perfectly, great guide, thanks a lot stranger!

I also had to perform work on the power button. Steps 1-8 worked perfectly to get access on my T20 model - light sanding to the red power button, and some padding behind the button.
