Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly

Inleiding

Repairing the DJ may seem like a daunting task. There are no visible screws, and there’s hardly anything to get a prying tool under! Fear not, it can be done.

While a soldering iron is required, I would still rate this as Moderate difficulty. You only need to use it for one joint.

Wat je nodig hebt

  1. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove lock switch slider: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • The lock switch slider can be removed with a small prying tool. Make sure it doesn't go flying across the room!

  2. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove bottom cover: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • The cover is affixed with adhesive. It can be pried off.

    • Don't start with an opening pick. Instead, use an iFixit Opening Tool and start around the charging port.

    • When it's lifted up far enough, wedge an opening pick between the case and the cover.

    • If necessary, you can use the Jimmy to pry around the edges. Be gentle, as it's very easy to damage the aluminum case.

  3. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove top cover: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • The top cover put up more of a fight. I had to use the Jimmy for this one.

    • Again, use caution to avoid damaging the case. It's also important to avoid bending the top cover sharply.

  4. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove screws and metal plates: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 2 Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove screws and metal plates: stap 4, afbeelding 2 van 2

    • There are eight Philips #00 screws, one on each corner at both ends of the device.

    • I don't recommend using tweezers to remove the plates like I did. You might bend the tips.

  5. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove battery: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • Be careful to avoid bending the battery. It is very thin and prone to damage.

    • Disconnect the battery connector. Then, gently pull the wires until the battery slides out.

    • If the battery doesn't slide out, use a blunt but thin tool (such as the flat end of an iFixit Spudger) to push the battery from the other end.

  7. Dell DJ 2nd Generation Disassembly, Remove the navigation wheel: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • Try something other than a Jimmy first. It can damage both the encoder's housing and the aluminum case.

    • It may help to push the internals towards the top slightly, but they won't come out yet.

    • Be careful not to scratch the display.
