• As the Apple TV doesn’t have any visible screws or point of entry, the first step is to use a couple of metal spudgers to carefully loosen and remove the rubber base from the upper case.
• Upon opening the Apple TV, the most noticeable and largest parts will be the heat sink and power supply.

• Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the heat sink in place.
• Remember, there are also screws hidden underneath the thermal pad.
• Next, use a metal spudger to gently pry the logic board up and out of the device. This will allow easier access to the power supply.
