The Thymio II is composed of a top and bottom cover.
-
-
-
The first step is to remove the four M3x10 Phillips screws from the bottom of the Thymio chassis.
-
-
-
Once the screws are removed you simply need to turn the thymio around and pop the top part of the case.
-
-
-
Now grab some tweezers or with your fingers disconnect the speaker cable. You should now have two seperate pieces, the top case and the bottom one.
-
-
-
-
To remove the PCB, take it between your hands or with one finger in the pen hole.
-
Tilt and lift the PCB.
-
-
-
After lifting the PCB, carefully remove the cables one by one with tweezers or your fingers.
-
-
-
Now that the PCB is out of the way, we can see the motors and the battery.
-
First we need to remove the main M2x8 Phillips screw that holds the wheel.
-
This will reveal the M3x20 Phillips screw that holds the motor to the chassis which needs to be removed in order to remove the motors.
-
-
-
Now that the motors are free, we can simply take a prying tool and twist the motor free.
-
-
-
The battery is glued to the chassis with an adhesive pad. To remove the battery, use a prying tool to get under the adhesive pad and remove it.
-
-
-
This concludes the Thymio II assembly as shown here with all its parts.
