Introduction
Before you begin the back panel removal, make sure the device is not turned on or connected to power, and that the back panel feels cool to the touch.
Devices heat up as they are used with a fan to regulate the temperatures. Any hot internal components could pose a burn hazard when directly touching them. If the back panel feels excessively hot, see the troubleshooting information to see if the fan may need to be vented or replaced.
