Introduction
When it comes to electronics, the power supply can eventually fail over time. This guide will show how to replace an old or damaged Apple TV power supply.
-
-
As the Apple TV doesn’t have any visible screws or point of entry, the first step is to use a couple of metal spudgers to carefully loosen and remove the rubber base from the upper case.
-
Upon opening the Apple TV, the most noticeable and largest parts will be the heat sink and power supply.
-
-
-
Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the heat sink in place.
-
Next, use a metal spudger to gently pry the logic board up and out of the device. This will allow easier access to the power supply.
-
-
-
The power supply is attached at three different points: the logic board/power supply connector, two screws and a heavy piece of tape, located underneath the power supply.
-
Locate the connector attaching the power supply to the logic board. Using a pair of tweezers, gently remove the connector from the power supply.
-
Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws located toward the front of the device.
-
-
-
Using a nylon spudger around the edge, gently work the power supply up and out of the case.
-
Place the replacement power supply in the now empty spot.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

There is actually no need to take out the heat sink, just open the bottom, unscrew the power connector, unplug the 8-pin connector from power supply and the power supply is free.
