Step 3

              Remove the Rubber Cushions               

• Each of the four legs has a rubber cushion on its bottom. For each cushion, insert a plastic opening tool between the plastic leg and rubber cushion, and pry off the rubber cushion.

Step 7

              Color the Wires               

• Color coordinating wire groups make it easier to identify the wire groups during reassembly.
• Inside the device, there are three junctions with wires joined by Phillips-head screws. The first is connected to two wires, and the other two are connected to three wires each.
• Unscrew the screw at the junction near the opposite side of the device from the front panel.
• Label each of the two wires at this junction with a single color of tape.

Unscrew the screw at the junction near the opposite side of the device from the front panel.

Label each of the two wires at this junction with a single color of tape.

Step 8

              Label the Second Wire Junction               

• Unscrew the screw at the junction just clockwise from the button panel.
• Label the three wires of this junction with tape of a second color.

Unscrew the screw at the junction just clockwise from the button panel.

Label the three wires of this junction with tape of a second color.

Step 9

              Label the Third Wire Junction               

• Unscrew the screw from the wire junction just behind the front panel.
• Label the three wires at this junction with a third color of tape.

Unscrew the screw from the wire junction just behind the front panel.

Label the three wires at this junction with a third color of tape.

Step 10

              Plug the Device into an Outlet               

• During these steps, DO NOT touch the wires directly. You may be electrocuted.
• Plug the device’s power cord into a functioning outlet.

Plug the device’s power cord into a functioning outlet.

Step 11

              Check the Voltage between the Wires               

• Locate the two wires which are connected directly to the power cord. Unlike the other wires, they are sheathed in a particularly thick, dot-textured plastic.
• Make sure the voltmeter is on and set to a setting beween 120 and 500V. For most voltmeters the proper setting for this is the 200V setting.
• Attach one of the voltmeter’s probes to the metal portions of each of the two wires connected to the power cord’s end on the device
• The voltmeter should read a number significantly above 20V. A reading between 100 and 150 V indicates that the device is getting enough power. A lower number indicates the power cord is broken.

Step 12

              Remove the Plastic Cord Locker               

• Make sure the device IS NOT PLUGGED IN before attempting the following steps.
• Using a pair of pliers, pull the white plastic knob on the edge of the device up, away from the device. The knob should come lose.

Step 13

              Unlock the Knob               

• Locate the small white latch on the side of the knob and pull it away from the cord. This will unlock it and expose he cord underneath. Set the knob aside.

Step 14

              Cut the Zip Tie               

• Using a pair of scissors , cut the zip tie that holds the thick power supply wire to a smaller wire.
• The zip ties are not essential to the performance of device, if you cut both of them, it does not matter.

Step 15

              Pull the Cord out               

• Pull the wires out through the hole, isolating the power cord from the device.

Step 16

              Thread the New Power Cord's wires into the Hole               

• To ensure the power cord is compatible with the device, make sure that the replacement cord you are using has a proper insulating coating and uses a NEMA 1 plug. NEMA 1 plugs are the common type of plug that have two parallel “|” shaped metal beams.
• Replace with new power cord by doing disassembly steps in reverse order.
