The Guts
  • Notice the back of the WiFi PCB. There is the female pin-header connector for the LED board, and a series of gold pads for a manufacturing test jig.

  • If you are feeling adventurous, you may be able to find JTAG, serial ports, or other fun hacking opportunities among those pads.

  • If you remove the two screws, the electrical base unit slides out of the metal heatsink case. The electronics are potted and not easily accessible.

  • Re-assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
