Canary CAN100USBK Infrared LED Board Replacement

Introducción

If your Canary does not light up, this guide will show you how to replace the Infrared LED board.

Before you unscrew anything, there are two power connectors you must disconnect. As always, do not pull on the wires of the power connector.

The four screws for the heatsink also hold the infrared LED board in, so grab onto it to prevent it from falling. There is another set of screws on the board for the LED frame; you do not need to remove these.

A Phillips #0 screwdriver can be used for all four screws.
