In Guide "Ottlite PL-0094 Touch Switch Hack" Ottlite PL-0094 Touch Switch Hack where are the studs in the the 5th step which states: --"the two plastic studs that hold the touch sensor circuit board in place"-- When I look behind top section of sensor board, --see picture above-- I only see one small white plastic square in the center --is that one? I do not see anything else that could be a stud. thank you

@sue_59 Can you remove the circuit board after taking out the needed screws?

by

are the screws first uploaded photo the ones I remove?

by

@andrewsawesome Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. I removed the only two screws I could see on circuit board and this freed up one half of circuit board--see top photo. Unfortunately, I can't see any plastic or where it is affixed to plastic --except for a white square piece--shown in second photo.

Thank you for going to the trouble to annotate the photo so I could identify the part. I would have never been able to figure out that those dots are what was adhering the board to the plastic shell!!

@sue_59 On the bottom board in the photo, you can see two white dots. That might be what your looking for.

After you remove all of the screws, you will find a few pieces of melted plastic attaching the circuit board to the plastic shell. You will need to melt these pieces of plastic while pushing the circuit board up to get the circuit board out.

The arrows point to the plastic studs. These are melted in the manufacturing process to hold the circuit board in place. You can use a soldering iron to carefully melt them to remove the board.
