Open Linksys Box?

67_GTO · 23-April-08, 12:55 PM

Anyone know how to open up the box for a Linksys WAP54G access point?

I have a dead one that I wanted to open up, to take a couple parts out. But I cant figure out how to get this dang thing open.

There are no screws to be seen. It appears that it just snaps together.

I've pulled on it from every angle as hard as I could with no luck. I could pry it open with a screw driver, but I don't want to risk breaking anything, if theres a chance I could repair it.

hmm well there were screws under the front 2 legs, but they didnt help me any when I took them out. More stuff seems to be rattling around now, so I assume the screws were just holding the circuit board in place.

Well thats exactly what I tried, but mine felt like it was glued together. I finally got it apart, just prying on it with a screw driver. now that I have it apart, I cant figure out why it took so much work to get it apart. After removing those hidden screws in the legs, the blue front part should've just popped off with little effort. Oh well.

Thanks for the help goodman.
