  1. Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Separating the input panel: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Separating the input panel: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Separating the input panel: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Use a hammer and a small chisel to carefully force the input panel open

    • Clamping the device helps prop the input panel open but, do not pull the panel away from the device forcefully, as there are small wires connected to the device components.

    • Be careful not to force the chisel into the device as you could damage internal components.

  2. Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Removing plastic casing: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Removing plastic casing: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Use dyke and pliers to cut outside casing to pry open the shell and remove the circuitry.

    • Recommend using hand saw to cut around the plastic.

    • Be careful not to cut forcefully as to prevent the internal components from getting damaged.

  3. Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Isolating internal components: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Isolating internal components: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Apple USB Power Adapter Teardown, Isolating internal components: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Isolate the internal electrical components from the casing

    • Recommend unsoldering the wires from the input panel.

    • For help desoldering connections, follow this useful guide on How To Solder and Desolder Connections.

    • Use caution when soldering. The heated tip may cause damage to the board, the components, or burn you.

    • Unsolder components that connect to the bottom and top circuit boards.

    • Detach the top and bottom circuit boards from the plastic separator.

    • For help desoldering connections, follow this useful guide on How To Solder and Desolder Connections.

    • Use caution when soldering. The heated tip may cause damage to the board, the components, or burn you.
