Introduction
This guide walks through removing the Nike+ Sportbands outer shell, screen assembly, motherboard, and finally the battery. The repair requires careful prying with small tools and working around fragile soldered connections.
What you need
-
-
Begin by removing the Nike+ Sport-band. This gives you access to the plastic housing so you can begin disassembly.
-
-
-
After the cover had been removed, use the metal spudger tool to remove the body of the device from the casing.
-
-
-
-
Remove the four highlighted screws from the motherboard using the Philips screwdriver.
-
-
-
Continue lifting the motherboard until the battery and its wires are visible. Tweezers can help lift the board enough to expose the battery area.
-
-
-
Gently lay the motherboard upside down exposing the underside of the motherboard.
-
The red and black battery wires may need to be desoldered from the board. Check out the How To Solder and Desolder Connections guide for some helpful tips on this.
-
Using the flat edge of a spudger separate the battery from the body of the band.
-
Then replace it with a new battery, which you can get on Amazon (3.7v Li-Pro small battery 50mah).
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
