Introduction

Two tools required for the completion of this task include a PH1 screwdriver, and a prying tool.

All screws on this device are 10mm (0.393 in).

    • Place the prying tool in between the hair straightener and the aligning cap.

    • Push forwards on the prying tool to pop off the aligning cap.

    • Remove the screws with the Phillips #1 screwdriver located underneath the aligning cap, one on each side of the straightener.

    • Use the prying tool to remove the aligning rods after the removal of the screws.

    • Gently separate each half of the hair straightener.

    • The spring located in the middle of this mechanism may pop out and can get lost very easily. Try to separate the two components slowly.

    • After the hair straightener is separated, use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the two screws located on the lower half of the straightener.

    • Use the prying tool to remove the hinge cover.

    It turns out this is really the only step you need to do to get at the plug for the wire. Remove the two screws and pop off the cover, remove the old swivel power connector and replace it. Put the cover back on and replace the two screws

Howdy!

Turns out step 3 is really the only step you need to do. Remove the two screws that cover the swivel power connector. You don't need to mess with the hinge at all.
