Introduction

Disclaimer: This guide was made during a Repair Cafe, so the pictures are not great.

What you need

Step 1

              Getting in
  • Don’t forget to unplug it!
  • Remove the drawer and any remaining fries.
  • On the top side of the product there is a panel held in place by 6 very snappy snap fingers. I am not kidding, these are strong!
  • When you work on one corner the others can snap back in place. To prevent this insert an opening tool or other objects in the gaps you created after lifting a corner.
  • My metal spudger was actually bending under the force, this is normal.

Step 2

              Removing the top
  • Remove 4 screws on top.
  • Than just lift the top half of the casing. This doesn’t take much force, as there are no more snap fingers.
  • Be careful, there are still 2 connectors attached!
  • Remove these two connectors

Step 4

              More screws
  • After unscrewing the middle layer of the product, turn it upside down on top of the bottom part of the product.
  • Be careful, there are still some cables connected to the bottom part.
  • Unscrew some more screws (10x).

Step 5

              Righty Loosy
  • With one hand hold down the fan blade to stop it from turning.
  • With the other unscrew the nut that keeps the fan blade in. You can use pliers or an #10 hex driver to do this
  • TURN CLOCKWISE to unscrew

Step 7

              Open the middle part

Step 8

              Freeing the fuse
  • Unscrew the screw keeping the thermal fuse in.

Unscrew the screw keeping the thermal fuse in.

Step 9

              Is it broken?
  • A thermal fuse should work like a piece of copper wire (electronically speaking) when not broken. It will have a very very small resistance between 0 and 1 OHM.
  • A broken fuse will give an open loop (O.L. on most multimeters).

Step 10

              Replacing the fuse
  • Do NOT solder the fuse!
  • I used the clips attached to a donor fuse to reattach to the cables. I did this by bending the clips out using cutting pliers and than bending them back using regular pliers.
