Introduction

This removal guide shows the proper steps to replace the DC Power Jack in the Amazon Echo Show 5. This significant piece allows there to be power throughout the device.

Tools

Step 1

Power off and unplug the Amazon Echo Show 5. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to the device.
Orient the Amazon Echo Show 5 so that the display is face down.
Use a spudger to remove the grey bottom cover.
During reassembly, adhesive needs to be applied to secure the bottom cover.

Step 2

Remove the three screws with a T6 Torx screwdriver.

Step 3

Use a spudger to release the six internal tabs lining the sides of the device.
There are fragile ribbon connectors along the side of the screen with the camera on it. So, do not stick the spudger more than a couple millimeters into the device.

Step 4

Carefully open the device by folding it open along the top edge where the camera is located.
Do not try to open the device from any other side as this would damage the ribbon connectors.

Step 5

Carefully disconnect the red and black power connector.

Step 6

Remove the three ZIF connector ribbon cables that connect the speaker housing to the display housing.
Do not pull ribbon cables straight out, as this will damage the device. To safely remove ribbon cables, pull up on the tab where the cable is going into.
