Introduction
The motherboard is the key to making every other part of the Alexa function, so many mystery issues might be linked back to a fault with the motherboard. As always, make sure you have grounded yourself and removed any static electricity by touching a metal surface before touching any circuitry.
What you need

Carefully peel off the bottom pad to expose the fastening screws.

After the screws are removed, grip the front panel and separate the front from the back. This will expose the inside of the device.

Use tweezers or your hands to carefully disconnect the red wires connecting the speakers to the power supply board.

Visually locate the motherboard within the device. It is the large green panel right above the speakers.
