    • Removing the lid too quickly could cause you to tear the interconnect cable that attaches the base to the top of the lid.

    • Pull off the Google Home’s magnetically attached base and set it aside.

    • Using a Torx T6 screwdriver head, unscrew the four 1.7mm Torx screws deep in the speaker recess so that you can remove the lid.

    • After all four screws are out, pop the lid off the device to open the capsule.

    • Use a metal spudger to pry the LED board away from the lid.

    • This will require some force because there is a strong adhesive layer that keeps the LED board attached to the lid, so don’t worry about being gentle.

    • Remove the LED board.
