      • Remove the following eight screws:

      • Four 15.1 mm Phillips #2 screws near the front of the device.

      • Four 12.7 mm Phillips #2 screws near the back of the device.

      • The slots for the four 12.7 mm screws are very narrow, so you will need a slender, Phillips #2 screwdriver that does not feature replaceable heads in order to reach them.

      • Turn the iHome 180 degrees so the speaker grille is facing you. Carefully lift the bottom case away from the rest of the body and tilt it as shown.

      • Be careful and do not yank the bottom case. A white ribbon wire is the only thing that connects the bottom case to the rest of the device.

      • Using a pair of tweezers, detach the white ribbon cable. Make sure to pull on the ribbon, not on the head.

      • The lower case can now be completely removed from the device!

      • Remove the four screws attaching the top of the case to the motherboard:

      • Two 9.5 mm Phillips #2 screws near the speaker grille.

      • Two 14.3 mm Phillips #2 screws that sit in recesses under the motherboard.

      • It is useful to use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip so that the screws don't get lost inside the device.

      • Turn the iHome 180 degrees and carefully pull up on speaker cases to pry them loose from the bottom case.

      • Prying the Motherboard Assembly from the Upper Case will require a good amount of force. Be very careful not to break the case, or yank on any of the ribbon wires attached to the underside.

      • Pulling outwards on the sides of the Upper Casing can help loosen the assembly.

      • If it seems too difficult to remove, chances are that a screw is still attached. Make sure you've removed every screw listed before proceeding to this step.

      • Pull the back adapter cover off.

      • Remove the four 6.4 mm Phillips #1 screws holding the adapter to the outer case.

      • Only remove the following screws if you are planning on taking apart the iPod Adapter later on:

      • Two 6.4 mm Phillips #1 screws near the center of the adapter. These screws have built in washers.

      • One 4.0 mm Phillips #1 screw near the center of the adapter.

      • The iPod adapter should now be separate from the upper casing.

where do you get the scroll wheels to replace the bad ones?

bnewell0568 - Antwoord Deel

Wow you can do the same thing leaving the entire unit intact by prying the wheels out from the top with a plastic pry tool. They come out pretty easily. This was still a very informative guide to disassembling the ihome.

huff08 - Antwoord Deel

I pried the scroll wheel off like said above, wiped off dust grime, replaced it - and now it works perfect.

Sgk Glass - Antwoord Deel

I ended up opening the whole thing up, taking the scroll wheels off and cleaning them. I also blew into the encoders on the little circuit boards, and it fixed them. They’re behaving just like new now. Thanks! I think I could have gotten away with prying the wheels off from the outside without opening it up, but oh well. This was actually on an iH6 — the innards were very similar to this model.

Doug Brown - Antwoord Deel

I did the same as Sgk Glass. Works fine.
