Step 1
Unscrew lamp casing

Unscrew lamp casing
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the 2 screws at the front and back of the lamp's body.
Screws are small and light, so make sure to place them in a safe spot to avoid losing them.

Step 2
Open the plastic casing

Open the plastic casing
Carefully separate the two parts of the lamp by pulling the white shade, and the black base in opposite directions.
Step 3
Remove 6 top screws

Remove 6 top screws
After removing the shade, the main electronic cicuit board (PCB) will be exposed.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 6 screws around the entire perimeter of the board.
Step 4
Remove electronic circuit board and frame
![](https://bright.imgix.net/Repair-Guide/photos/sol/lift-pcb-frame.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=webp&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=85&transformer=imgix&w=750)
Remove electronic circuit board and frame
Once all 6 screws have been removed, carefully separate the white plastic frame from the black base of the lamp.
Make sure to pull gently, as there are cables connecting the two parts together.
Step 5
Disconnect harness cables

Disconnect harness cables
Underneath the PCB, there are 3 sets of cables.
Gently pull the cables away from the circuit board and disconnect everything.
Make sure to pull the colored cables and not to pull from the white connector as this might lead to breaking the connector itself.

Remove main PCB
Remove the PCB from the lamp, and take the plastic frame that sits around it off.
Step 7
Open bottom case
![](https://bright.imgix.net/Repair-Guide/photos/sol/pull-open-bottom-case-01.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=webp&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=85&transformer=imgix&w=750)
Open bottom case
Using your hands, pull apart the two halves of the bottom case.

Step 8
Replace the button board

Replace the button board
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 2 screws holding the ports' board. Replace with the new one.

Make sure to dispose the damaged board as e-waste
Step 9
Reassemble base
![](https://bright.imgix.net/Repair-Guide/photos/sol/close-bottom-case-01.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=webp&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=85&transformer=imgix&w=750)
Reassemble base
To reassemble the base, align all the components, including the swiveling handle.

Using both hands, press hard until they snap into place.
Step 10
Reconnect battery
![](https://bright.imgix.net/Repair-Guide/photos/sol/reconnect-battery-first.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fm=webp&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=563&q=85&transformer=imgix&w=750)
Reconnect battery
Reconnect the battery cables to the PCB connector. Make sure to use the connector next to the round edge of the frame.
Battery must be connected at the round side of the board.
Step 11
Reconnect remaining cables

Place top frame back
Align the top frame and the base.
The two parts will only assemble correctly in one orientation, so look for the keyhole-shaped features and align them on top of each other.
Align the keyhole shapes.
