  • We got our new Apple TV today, skipped the 'plug it in' step, and went straight to our disassembly. It's Apple model #A1218.

  • The packaging has been reviewed to death other places, so we're going to skip that.

  • Peel up the rubber base (remove the rubber carefully so you don't tear it) and remove the four T8 Torx screws beneath:

  • Two 10 mm T8 Torx by the ports.

  • Two 15 mm T8 Torx near the front.
