Introducción
Han pasado dos largos años desde nuestro último encuentro con un Apple TV. Hoy, en nuestra mesa de desmontaje, tenemos un nuevo y brillante Apple TV 4K extraído directamente de los huertos tecnológicos de Cupertino. Entonces, ¿qué vamos a hacer con el primer dispositivo de transmisión 4K HDR de Apple? Binge-watch Cosas extrañas? Definitivamente pensamos en ello ... pero nah, ¡estamos destrozando a este tonto!

Qué necesitas
Resumen del Video
-
-
Todos sabemos que este pequeño obelisco negro está empaquetando algunas 4K chuletas serias, pero veamos qué hay de nuevo en este renovado Apple TV:
-
Chip Apple A10X Fusion de 64 bits
-
Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, receptor IR y HDMI 2.0a
-
... y en el control remoto:
-
Superficie táctil de vidrio
-
Micrófonos duales
-
Acelerómetro y giroscopio
-
Bluetooth 4.0, transmisor IR, conector Lightning
-
-
-
Estamos ansiosos por profundizar en una nueva oferta de TV de nuestra compañía tecnológica favorita que vive en OVNI en Cupertino, pero primero, comparemos las manzanas con las manzanas 4K.
-
El Apple TV más nuevo no supera a su predecesor esta vez, pero sí notamos un par de diferencias clave en el diseño.
-
El panel inferior ha sido rediseñado para lo que parece ser una ventilación térmica seria.
-
Adiós, puerto USB-C.
-
-
-
Antes de abrir la caja, nuestros socios de Creative Electron proporcionaron algunos escáneres de rayos X de lujo.
-
La visión de rayos X revela un nuevo objeto circular que parece coordinarse estrechamente con los nuevos puertos de escape en el panel inferior.
-
¿Es un fan? Un acelerador de partículas? Una parte del anillo de contacto?
-
Bien, nuestro interés es despertado. Es hora de abrir esta caja negra y ver de qué se trata esta actualización 4K.
-
-
-
Tomamos una ruta de acceso familiar a través de la parte inferior del Apple TV 4K.
-
Al igual que con su hermano de K solo, el Apple TV 4K presenta clips de plástico fáciles de reparar que aseguran su panel inferior.
-
Sin foso de pegamento o tornillos poco comunes? Esta unidad mejorada obtiene un 1 Up como recompensa.
-
Pelar hacia atrás el panel trasero revela un ventilador fornido asegurado por algunos tornillos Torx.
-
-
-
-
¡Después de sacar los tornillos T7 Torx, conocemos al mayor fanático de Apple TV!
-
Parece que Apple fusionó el nuevo ventilador con el conjunto de disipador de calor / escudo EMI del Apple TV 4th Generation, combinándolos para formar una solución de enfriamiento.
-
Con el giro de unos pocos tornillos Torx más, el conjunto se desmonta, revelando un ventilador reemplazable accionado por un motor sin escobillas Nidec.
-
Este nuevo conjunto de ventiladores está aparentemente asegurado por un disco de identidad. TRON, ¿eres tú?
do all modern gadgets have blue loctite tipped screws? i’ve noticed this when i did my apple 4k disassembly, and likewise in replacement screws for my mbair 11inch
Anyone have any idea where one could find this replacement fan? Mine died and when watching anything 4K or higher (Dolby Vision) it begins to hiccup and lock up after 5 minutes. Took it apart and the fan has seized.

Nos complace ver que Apple mantiene la tradición de las placas lógicas fácilmente extraíbles para el Apple TV 4K.

Yep, 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet PCIe Controller with ASF2.0.
“The device combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3-compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, x1 PCIe bus interface and on-chip buffer memory in a single device. The device is fabricated in 1.2V CMOS process, providing a low-power system solution.”
From the components around Apple 343S00150, Apple 343S00150 could be the PMIC. Memory controller should be integrated in the Apple A10X processor. There is 343S00151-A0 next to Apple 343S00150. Supposedly, Apple 343S00150-A0 and Apple 343S00151-A0 could be the PMIC for Apple TV 4K.
Does anyone know why Apple would use DisplayPort internally and convert it to HDMI instead of just using HDMI internally? (an ELI5 type answer would be best - https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfi... for more info)
What is the exact part number or reference of that motherboard ?
Can they be purchased on ebay, Apple or anywhere else ?
Thank You
I’m wondering if you can simply buy the low capacity flash memory AppleTV model (with the 32GB Toshiba THGBX6G8D2LLDXG), then inexpensively replace the chip with a 256GB Toshiba THGAF8T1T83BAIR chip (or similar)?
This may sound a bit crazy, but I’m trying to see if I can power up the ATV4K’s logic board with a 12v Power Bank. I plan on connecting the leads to the Power Posts on the board which according to your specs draws 12v @ 1.083A. Do you see this as doable?
This is old but for anyone reading, you can definitely power all current Apple TV motherboards with various power supplies. As long as you confirm you are using a properly rated one it will work though if it is out of its housing you lose the heat sinks/fan. (Running Apple TV just fine from bench supply)
Can i disable bluetooth from my apple tv?
Seems possible in some way to remove the Murata 339S00381 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module and i dont mind the module getting destroyed :)
I get headache from bluetooth and the aluminium IR controller from the old apple tv works perfectly :)
Would be really interessting for me too. The box could still be used over IR with a ONE for ALL remore IR control.
My father is also very sensitive to bluetooth.
I was not able to find productsheets for the Murata Chip, because it's a custom one. Will the box still startup without the chip?
I would be happy for help!

No encontramos sorpresas aquí; el disipador de calor sigue siendo muy similar a su predecesor de 2015.
-
Nos tomamos un momento para arrancar un par familiar de supuestos postes de energía del cuerpo del disipador de calor.
-
Con el disipador de calor y las publicaciones fuera del camino, lo único que queda por hacer es quitar la placa de suministro de energía.
on my apple 4k, theres 4 copper pins on the plate, near the memory controller area (to power the fan?), and theres a slight elevated surface to kiss the CPU and mem controller,
-
-
-
La nueva fuente de alimentación tiene una potencia nominal de 12 V a 1.083 A. Este es un aumento modesto de la fuente de alimentación 0.917 A en Apple TV 4th Generation.
-
Tomando nuevamente el liderazgo de diseño de su hermano mayor, el Apple TV 4K evita el cableado interno entre la fuente de alimentación y la placa lógica.
-
- Los clips de plástico mantienen la carcasa junta para facilitar la apertura.
- Los componentes modulares facilitan el desmontaje y la reparación.
- La fuente de alimentación es modular y cuenta con un conector AC-in extraíble.
- Los tornillos Torx estándar mantienen todo unido.
- Todos los componentes principales están soldados a la placa lógica, lo que significa que la reparación de cualquier problema de puerto requerirá una soldadura a nivel de la placa o un reemplazo completo de la placa.

Got off the phone with Apple. No USB means a corrupted firmware means you will have to send in the device for recovery/restore. You will at least have to pay shipping. Apple stores should be able to recover/restore as well. Don’t exactly the USB pads on the PCB. Maybe the four pads on the left of the bottom image. Anyone?
Maybe they'll allow it to be done through the ethernet port….
I just had this happen with the 12.4.1 update. Blinky LED & no video out at all. The bad news is the Genius Bar / Store Techs have no more access to do a factory restore than the user does. IOW: none. Nothing on Ethernet either. (That was straight from the GB guy’s mouth.) If there are USB pads on the board they don’t know about them.
And if this happens out of warranty it’s a $150 board swap. I advise turning off the auto-install for OS updates.
My Apple TV died, and they Apple store could not do anything to recover it. And Apple does not repair them, so the offered to sell me a new one at full price. And no shop will service them since Apple considers these disposable and does not provide schematics or parts to repair partners, so no one will touch it. They could at least sell logic boards, but you know, Apple I guess is not profitable enough as it is.
Any more detailed info (part numbers) on the remote?
Isn’t that Broadcom ethernet chip used in thunderbolt dongles, but not necessarily anything to do with Thunderbolt? I.e TB carries it, but it's it’s own thing. Not sure this shows Thunderbolt on ARM.
It was so funny, to see it’s and it’s, the first meaning it is, the second meaning its. I haven’t seen that blunder in a long while. Thanks for the laugh.
That’s a lot of mirth derived from an extra apostrophe. Small things, as they say…

What quick video tear down for a product that took two years to make!
I would go slower and show the chips and defiantly try not to damage the backcover…
AppleTV 4K is awesome, seeing it naked it quite sexy indeed. Nice big cool fan.
Is a bit of an illusion and I had to double check - only the inner blades are a fan, looks about as big as a regular laptops fan. The outer ring is metal air baffles/channels, connected to the upper heatsink, just to bring air in part of the fan and let it push air out the rear part.

When the Apple TV has better cooling than the MacBooks.
What about the possibility to upgrade the 32/64 Gb memory?
I wondered the same thing — if you can simply buy the low capacity flash memory AppleTV model (with the 32GB Toshiba THGBX6G8D2LLDXG), then inexpensively replace the chip with a 256GB Toshiba THGAF8T1T83BAIR chip (or similar)?
It uses bluetooth. Only IR is used for the TV.
This is what I came here for too.
There is an IR receiver, but it seems to have moved a bit left (facing the Apple TV 4K) from where the previous 4th gen was. I installed a few yesterday and stuck an emitter back on the center and got a bit nervous thinking they changed codes.

Yes, the IR (Infrared) receiver is at the front left side. It is the four dots at the bottom left of the X-Ray photos in STEP 3.
i wish hacked this 4k tv for install IOS 11.1 on it every body have idea???
because in ipad pro same as!!
please how can edit ios image for install ios on 4k tv this is Revolution in age of smart t.v with one wireless touch pad any thing can do
Will it be hacked so that OS X can be installed? Benchmarking tests show the apple tv 4k is more powerful than a lot of macbooks out there…
Its an ARM chip, Its not suitable for X86 based software unless it gets some serious redesigns and workarounds.

Where is the IR receiver on the Apple TV 4k?
Hi, what is the logic board part number ?
Can it be purchased from ebay or apple ?
Thanks
I am wondering if we could enhance the Bluetooth antenna to increase its reach when used as a HomeHub
There is a hidden lightning port inside the Ethernet port, check out http://9to5mac.com/2019/10/17/Apple-tv-4...
Yeah! I’m wondering the same.
How did the Lightning port get missed? Didn’t the 7-9 leads on the board behind the 8 for ethernet catch anyone’s attention?
Do you have the parts numbers ? I search a original Apple TV 4k case
I think it would be worth mentioning that the Apple TV 4K that has no ports, can be reset by switching off and on the AppleTV several time in a row. I waited 20s in on and 10s while being off.
That absolutely does not work for everyone. Me included.
