Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

35 minutes

Introduction

The Amazon Echo Look's primary function as a fashion assistant can be affected if the Wi-Fi module is damaged. The device uses Wi-Fi in order to use its main features such as looking for wardrobes; a damaged Wi-Fi module can hinder that.

Tools

Step 1

Ensure the device is completely powered off and disconnected from any power source by removing the charger adapter point from the back of the device.

Step 2

If the device stand is attached, remove it by twisting the device's base toward yourself until detached.

Step 3

Heat the front panel with an iOpener.
It may help to secure the iOpener to the device.
Heat the device for 5-10 minutes to loosen the glue.
CAUTION: The iOpener and the device may be hot.

Step 4

Lever the Jimmy between the screen and the device until an opening is formed.
Insert opening picks to hold the opening as needed.
Use a spudger to circle the border of the front panel and disconnect any lingering glue.
Step 3 may need to be repeated as Step 4 is time-sensitive.

Step 5

Remove the front panel by levering the spudger at the top of the device.

Step 6

Remove the screws from the midframe with a Torx T5 screwdriver.
Lift up the midframe
Remove the eight screws attached to the gray metal piece using a Torx T5 screwdriver.
