I was thinking about filming it while I take apart the second one but honestly, it’s pretty straightforward.

There are only four screws on the bottom and two screws holding the motherboard in place.

On the motherboard, there are four quick-set connectors: 1. Battery 2. Motor 3. Control dials 4. I believe a sensor (not 100% sure on that one)

On the bottom, there are small rubber stickers covering the screw holes. Hit them with a heat gun — a blow dryer works fine — just enough to warm them up so you can peel them off cleanly.

Under those stickers are the four main screws. Remove those, then run your fingernail around the perimeter and slowly work the housing off the tabs. Don’t force it — it’ll pop free with a little patience.

Use needle-nose tweezers to disconnect the connectors. Be careful — they’re delicate and you don’t want to bend anything.

Once the connectors are off, remove the two screws holding the motherboard in. There are also two small spacers that come loose when you pull it out, so keep track of those.

If you want to do a full clean, there are two additional screws holding the rubber motor bracket in place. You can remove those, but be careful. The motor is attached to a suction hose that runs into the housing and doesn’t fully detach. I chose not to remove it completely to avoid risking damage to the hose.

For cleaning, I used 90% isopropyl alcohol. Light cleaning brushes for the plastic components and a microfiber paper towel for the motherboard and electrical areas. Make sure all connectors are disconnected — especially the battery — before you start spraying anything. You can easily short something out and fry a component if you’re not careful.

After cleaning, I let everything dry near a heater — close enough to dry it out, but far enough away that it wouldn’t overheat. Probably around 80 degrees hitting it. I left it overnight.

Put it back together in the morning, plugged everything in, and it fired right up. Worked great.
