    • Pull the panel away from the rest of the assembly and cut the red and black wires coming from the panel

    • Be careful not to cut the ground-wire for the motherboard, it is the same color and goes to the exact same place as the solar panel wire.

    • For reassembly you will need to either splice, or solder the wires onto the replacement.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
