Introduzione
In light of the Yoto Mini recall and a recent SD FAIL message, I decided to open ours up and replace the card myself. (I doubt Yoto will have replacement units anytime soon)
It’s a fairly simple process, but unfortunately you do need to break 4 tabs on the screen to access the SD card. This is likely why the unit is not user-repairable, and does not fall under Yoto’s “Right to Repair” documentation. They only provide instructions for the full sized Yoto Gen 2 here. Thankfully the screen goes back in place without the little tabs – I’m not worried about it falling apart once reassembled.
My player had a 16GB Sandisk card. I used a 64GB Lexar card from Amazon. You’ll also need a small Philips screwdriver (P00) and some sort of small flathead to pry (I used 2.5mm). Both come in the lovely iFixit Mako driver kit.

Now you will see the battery pack. Maybe this is replaceable to fix the recall issue? No idea, that’s another project. There are two screws, one on each side. These are raised Phillips head. Unscrew them and put them somewhere safe, preferably labeled so you remember which goes where.

The SD card slot is underneath the screen. The screen unit itself unfortunately it held on with 4 small plastic bits that go through the board. I had to cut off the tiny bits that went through – use an exacto knife or your small flathead screwdriver. Once those 4 bits were removed, the screen and holder easily came off.

Exactly the guide ive been looking for thank you!. Havnt taken ours apart just yet to replace the SD card but do you think there is any room in there to wedge an AirTag? child keeps taking clipped on airtags off so looking for more options to track it down in the house 🤣
In Step 5 there are four screws, but the fourth one is right in the center of the logic board, not on the corner.
I fixed the image, thanks
I think the charging port is dead on ours. Think I can replace it?
