Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If your EasySMX X15 stops working then you may need to replace the main circuit board. This guide will show you how to replace the circuit board if that is the case.

What you need

Tools

1. Step 1 Bottom Casing
  Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four 9 mm screws from the bottom of the EasySMX X15.
  
  Use an opening tool to gently pry between the seams of the controller to separate the lower and upper casings.
  
  Be gentle when separating the lower casing from the upper casing to avoid breaking any of the plastic snap tabs.

1. Step 2 Battery
  Push on alternating sides of the connector to disconnect the red battery cable from the board.
  
  If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.
  
  Pull from the tab, not the cables, to avoid damaging them.

3. Step 3
  Use a spudger to pry the battery loose from the controller.
  
  The battery is glued onto the control board, so it may take a bit of work to release it from the adhesive.
  
  Remove the battery.
  
  Don't bend or pierce the battery. If the battery is swollen, follow the guidelines outlined in this article.
