Canary CAN100USBK Bottom Casing Replacement

Introduction

This guide will show you how to remove the bottom casing.

Before you can perform any other replacement guide, you must remove the bottom casing. It gives access to the Ethernet PCB Board, Audio and USB PCB Board and to the nooks where you can pry the front panel off.

As you remove the bottom casing, work slowly to avoid damaging the ribbon cable that is attached to the Audio and USB PCB Board.

A spudger is needed to pry the bottom casing off.
