Introdução

Ir para o passo 1

My own TP-Link HS110 malfunctioned right after the warranty expired. (within a week…) So I decided to fix it myself. I was able to find a way to disassemble it non-destructively, but I wasn’t able to fix it yet.

It keeps turning itself on and off, showing it is not connected to the Wi-Fi. Pressing any button on it won’t fix it. If you happen to be a competent human being, I would love to get some guidance about fixing the internals.

    • Keep in mind, that following this guide will void your warranty! Even the first step!

    • There is 1 screw that holds the cover plate in place. In order to open the housing you have to remove that screw.

    • The screw is hiding under the sticker. You can try to remove the whole sticker. I just scratched through with the spudger to expose the screw. (This voids your warranty!)

    • Remove the screw. I used a PH0 screw bit.

    • To remove the cover plate I used the metal spudger.

    • Start on the bottom of the plate. There is a little gap right above the Reset Connection button. The spudger fits perfectly in that little gap and you can pop the first clamps out by stretching it.

    • I think this was the key for the whole process.

    • After that, just go around with the spudger and pop all the clamps out one by one.

    • The hardest part is over. Congratulations!

    • Finally, the internals are exposed. But be careful, it is very easy to break the whole circuitry!

    • There are 2 main PCBs inside on top of each other. Those are connected via a soldered mini "bus" PCB. The bottom one is screwed into the backplate via 2 little screws. You have to remove those to get the whole thing out without breaking it.

    • Unfortunately, the screwdriver in the Pro Tech Tool Kit did not fit into the small gap which leads to the screws. So I had to improvise with a small form factor screwdriver from a random HDD kit.

    • After removing the 2 little screws, you can pop the whole thing out from the housing.

    • If your device has the same malfunction as mine and you managed to fix it, please reach out to me, so I can have my smart plug back in business! Thanks!

    To repair the device, you must replace the capacitor 470 mf 16V that you see on the back of the the red arrow at step 5.

    If you see, it have a bulge on the top.

    On my device, happened the same, now it works.

Hello, I also have a problem with this equipment. Unlike you, I have a good WIFI connection and it doesn't switch off unexpectedly. However, when I press the switch or turn it off via the app, the power still flows. I think it could be the relay but I'm not sure. Do you think this could be the cause? How can I test it? Thanks
