    • Using the Phillips JIS #1 screwdriver, remove the three screws circled in the picture.

    • All three screws are 8.0mm, which are the same size as the previous one. They are interchangeable.

    • Now you can take out the circuit board. There will be two wires attached to the circuit board.

    • If you prefer, you can clean the circuit board gently with dry tissues to remove the sticky lubricant.

  7. WOFDl4lDhOcVrJk2

    • Use the pry bar to separate the wire from the white main board.

    • Before prying, check if you removed the power plug from the outlet and the massage pillow.

  8. clBcOErKQgTICtPA

    • Using your soldering station, remove the wires from the circuit board.

    • If you don't know how to solder, you can check out this guide: How To Solder and Desolder Connections

    • Soldering can be dangerous. Be cautious of high heat soldering tools.

    • Now, you can separate the circuit board completely to replace with a new heater.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hi YuChen, nice work! Do you know from where I can find the switch for this heater? If you can tell me the part number, I can try looking it up on eBay. Thanks!

YuChen, by any chance do you know where I can get the whole covering of this Shiatsu Massage Pillow. The fabric of mine has deteriorated and torn off. I have been trying to find one using Google search but was unable to find. Can you help, Thank you
