ionvac SmartClean V2 Shell (Top & Bottom) Replacement

Introdução

The top shell (hard plastic cover or frame) houses the power button and bumper, while the bottom shell (ionvac body) houses the interior logic board, motor wheels, wires, and a host of other essential parts. In order to access these parts for replacement, you must remove the top shell (frame) of your ionvac SmartClean V2. This guide will show you how to remove the top shell without causing any damage.

This is a quick and easy prerequisite for our other replacement guides, and you will need a Phillips #2 (PH2) screwdriver and a Jimmy tool (or another prying tool) to complete it. Remember to remove and reinstall all parts gently.
