Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to remove the LED/Microphone board. This board contains the LED indication ring at the top of the Echo, as well as the seven microphone array. This guide should assist you if the LED ring is malfunctioning or if the Echo has issues hearing you.

Tools

Step 1

Power off and unplug your Echo before disassembly. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to the device.
Peel off the rubber footing from the bottom of the Echo.
Do not pull the rubber footing too hard, as it could stretch out of shape. Use a spudger to help remove the foot if you have any trouble.

Step 2

Remove the four 42.8 mm T10 Torx screws from the bottom of the Echo.

Step 3

Slowly lift the plate containing the board. Be careful not to disconnect any of the wires.

Step 4

Using tweezers, carefully disconnect the two red and black cables from their sockets on the board.
Tugging on the wires may damage the device. Pull from the plastic connectors instead.
