Introduction

The motherboard partially sits on the inner mask piece of the headset and must be removed in order to remove the inner mask piece.

Caution is required while working on the headset as a wire harness connects the USB adapter to the motherboard. Care should be taken not to put any strain on the wire and to open the headset from right to left.

What you need

Step 1

              Front Phone Mount

Remove the front cover to access a plate that holds the phone in place during use.
Remove the four corner screw covers with a metal spudger to reveal four screws.
Remove the sticker located at the top center to reveal two additional screws.

Step 3

              Motherboard

Use the blue plastic opening tool to remove the rest of the the pop connectors from the motherboard.
The larger gold connector is lightly glued down so it may take more effort to remove than the others.

Step 4

You can now remove the motherboard from the mask.
Make sure that nothing is connected to the motherboard before you try to remove it as pulling it with something connect might brake the connections.
