Hi,
Thank you so much for the guide - I was able to open up my coffee spilled on remote clean it and actually fix it! However...somewhere along the lines I broke the Siri button (it was working fine prior to me opening up the remote)! It's a physical problem - I can't push it down physically, there is no spring like behavior...was there something in between the button that I dislodged? Any ideas?
May not be immediately clear from the photos, but to extract the two P2 Pentalobe screws, you'll need to hold the P2 bit about 10-degrees off-axis. The screws are not longitudinal to the case.
I found the screw heads to be extremely brittle, got them out once and inserted again but now I am seeing small shavings coming off and can't open it again, word of caution
This is a very bad guide. Slide the electronics out of its case needed excessive force, which should NOT be applied to the charging port, which doesn't even have a fast connection to the tray. Also it's missing any instructions on how to remove the battery cable from the logic board.
