Step 2

              Remove the back lid
  • Use a small flat-headed screwdriver, spudger, or similar to pry open the lid enough to be able to get a grip of it and pull straight back and then fold down.
  • The back of the lid has a PCB with cables connecting it to the motherboard inside the unit. While not particularly fragile, do take care so you do not damage the connectors.

Step 3

              Unplug the cable for the limit switch
  • In my case the replacement limit switch was delivered already connected to a cable. If you are only replacing the actual switch you can skip this step and instead unplug the opposing end on the switch itself later..
  • Remove the limit switch cable connector in the bottom right corner by pulling it straight out.
  • Be sure to pull the connector, and not the cables!
