Introduction

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.

What you need

Step 1

              TP-Link HS110 Disassembly               

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

Step 2

• 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.

Step 3

• 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!

Step 5

• 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!
