| + | [title] Remove the rubber base |
| [* icon_note] Place a piece of cloth or a similar soft material on a clean, flat surface. Place the device upside down on top of the fabric. | |
| [* black] Open the Time Capsule by exposing the screws that hold the device together. The screws are concealed by the rubber base, which is the bottom surface of the device. | |
| [* black] Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat the rubber base, which softens the adhesive holding it on. | |
| [* black] Starting in a corner, carefully lift the rubber base to prevent tearing. You can use a guitar pick or a small, plastic ruler to help separate the rubber from the metal. | |
| [* icon_caution] Take your time to prevent tearing the adhesive. Ensure that you don't overheat the device. | |
| [* icon_note] If you tear some of the adhesive, don't worry. The existing adhesive is more than enough to allow the rubber base to stick back onto the unit during reassembly. | |
| [* icon_note] During reassembly, you can apply heat to the rubber base. This will enable the adhesive to flow and form a better bond with the device's metal casing. |
