Introduction

This guide will teach you how to take apart your Google Home to remove a faulty LED Board and replace it with a new one.

What you need

Step 1

              Interconnect Cable
  • 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.
