Remove the PCB Assembly
  • To remove the electronics from the hard plastic base we need to dig out a lot more sealant.

  • I first pried up the end of the PCB near the USB interface.

  • Notice the spring contacts coming from the 4 USB conductor pads - these come in contact with pads on the PCB.

  • Finally (pic 2) the electrical assembly is free! Three rigid boards connected by flex.

  • Check out the antenna built into the flex circuitry - looks like a PIFA.

  • You can keep prying and release the

  • 70mAh Li-ion battery

  • and buzzer.
