Open the casing
  • The casing consists of two injection molded plastic parts which have been sealed. In this case, heating the device did not help release the adhesive or break the seal.

  • To open the device, a Dremel was used with a rotary blade to cut at the parting line between the two parts. Cutting was initiated at the micro-USB port and then progressed all around the seam.

  • In this case, the device was cut very shabbily. However, it would be possible to carefully cut along the seam to obtain the two individual casing parts.

  • Use appropriate protective gear like gloves and face masks to prevent cuts on the skin and prevent small particles from entering your eyes and mouth while using the Dremel.

  • Inside the casing was a PCB and a battery soldered and glued to the PCB.
