    • Flanking both sides of the charging port are J00 Screws. Remove these.

    • These screws go into plastic, so when re-assembling the device, be very careful not to over tighten them.

    • These two screws are identical to each other, but differ from the screws within the device, keep them separate from any screws you remove from within the device.

    • When looking at the front of the device, with the charging point at the bottom the device has a hinge clip and wires on the top right.

    • While opening, be extremely careful not to damage the fragile cables and connection between the main body and the faceplate.

    • With a fingernail or some kind of slim pry tool, gently lift from the bottom left corner.

    • There is adhesive that is holding the faceplate on, If you have difficulty pulling it off, use a plastic spudger by inserting it in on the bottom left then slowly hinge the device open while applying pressure to the adhesive pad to loosen it.

  3. Pokémon™ GO Plus+ Light Dampening, Remove Light PCB from Faceplate: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Pokémon™ GO Plus+ Light Dampening, Remove Light PCB from Faceplate: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Once you've got the faceplate off, on the backside of the faceplate you will see a white PCB with 4 J00 screws securing it, remove those 4 screws

    • There are two alignment posts holding the board in place, while removing the board be careful not to damage these posts

    • These screws go into plastic, so when reassembling at this step, be very careful not to overtighten them

    • While the flat flex cable can be disconnected, the white wire is soldered to the other side of the board, so be very careful to not damage it.

    • For this guide we are not disconnecting either cable, simply be aware they're there and be cautious of them

    • Once you remove the PCB from the faceplate you'll have access to the RGB LEDs that make up the center button light.

    • Cut to size whatever you're using to dampen the LEDs, and apply them to each of the 4 LEDs.

    • In the image example, I'm using blue painters tape simply for demonstration purposes. Please note this is not strong enough to meaningfully dampen the light from these LEDs. When you perform this use something stronger.
