Introduction

The case of the device is fairly simple to remove and requires very little force. Once the case is removed, the IR receiver is secured by one screw. Thus, the repair is straightforward. Just be sure to handle the parts gently to avoid damaging the case rivets and the other items the IR receiver is connected to.

There are three Phillips screws securing the case on. Two are inside the opening left by the previous step, and the third is located on the underside of the projector. Remove all three.
The third sticker may be located underneath a QA (quality assurance) sticker. If you are having trouble finding it, look for that sticker.
