Parabéns pelo tutoria de desmontagem do aparelho ALEXA ECHO DOT 3ª geração! Excelente trabalho!!!

Eu recebi um aparelho desse para efetuar a manutenção, pois este estavatotalmente inoperante, por dois motivos:

1° ADAPTADOR FONTE AVARIADO, gerando tensão de saída DC oscilante;
2° MAL-CONTATO NO CABO FLEXÍVEL INTERNO que conecta as duas placas eletrônicas internas.
