Apple TV 3rd Generation Logic Board Replacement

As the device base is firmly clipped, insert two metal spudgers to gently release the first clips.

Continue releasing the last plastic clips with your hands taking care not to break any of the plastic elements attached to the base.

Use a philips screwdriver to remove the metal heat sink.

The logic board is held in place by the power supply connector, but that's no problem for our spudger. A quick flick and the logic board is free.
