Apple Magic Mouse - Disassembling procedure

SPECIFICATIONS 
Multi-touch gesture control
Bluetooth wireless connectivity
Lightning port (for charging and pairing)
Internal lithium-ion battery
DISASSEMBLING PROCEDURE 
Slightly warm up the bottom of the mouse
In the previous model, strong adhesive secured the aluminum belly to the mouse.
Apple has mentioned that their mouse has an "optimized foot design." Peel off those feet, the new model hides screws underneath.
After lots of heat and half a dozen prying tools wedged under the casing, the mouse is partially released from the gluey mess beneath.
Finally separate the lower casing from the mouse and get first view of its  midframe.
Popping four plastic clips open lets into the battery chamber.
It turns out these clips are actually part of the rocking/clicking mechanism for the single top shell/button.
Also check that clear acrylic. It's only painted on the underside, leaving the top and sides clear.
With the upper casing lifted up, get a clear view of what makes this mouse so senseational that capacitative array.
The capacitative array makes this mouse a bit of a trackpad hybrid, allowing it to detect touch on its surface, registering gestures made without even moving the mouse.
Finally Screws, Unfortunately, they're holding down a bracket over a ribbon cable which prevents us from separating the mouse bits just yet but hey, that ribbon cable.
seatbelt will make the mouse better withstand drops.
Finally separate from the base of the mouse, the upper casing provides a clearer view of its capacitative touch-sensing array.
A little spring provides some resistance and distributes force when the mouse is clicked, making it seem like the small button on the right occupies the whole width of the mouse.

Hiding beneath the logic board, find a teensy switch that makes the mouse click its click.
It held in only by the board above, and is a welcome relief after wading through the rest of this tar pit.
As a common failure part for computer mice, it's nice that Apple used a fairly standard and easilysourced switch although its replacement will require dealing with all of that glue (and soldering in the replacement switch).
Turn our attention to the battery, which sits snug as a bug in its little plastic box, making it annoying to extract.
As it turns out, that's not the only thing holding it down there's a mess of glue to contend with as well. Removing the battery is even less fun than we feared.
The Magic Mouse 2's battery shares a common feature with the Apple TV Remote the Lightning connector is soldered to the battery cable.
This small accessory doesn't pack light that 3.67 V, 7.28 Wh, 1986 mAh li-ion cell holds about 9% more powerful than the one in the iPhone 6s
The Lightning port and battery can be replaced (as a single component), independent of the logic board if you can get the device open.
Replacing a malfunctioning switch requires prying through intense adhesive and soldering.

Excessive use of strong adhesive makes it very difficult to remove the rear panel, hindering access to every internal component.

Samsung plasma TV – Plasma TV Power supply Troubleshooting tips – Plasma television repair and service

SMPS
The SMPS power supply will vary slightly depending on the screen size. Both however will function identically.
Power supply removal requires the tech to remove either 6 or 8 screws be removed depending on the model and size of screen. After replacement of the SMPS make sure the voltages are adjusted according to the label posted on the panel.
The power supply provides switched and unswitched voltages for operation. The unswitched voltages are present as long as the unit is plugged into the wall. The +5VDC supply operates the main CPU on the digital board. The +33VDC supply is used by the tuner.
The other voltages are used by the panel drive circuits creating the Va,Vs,Vset and Ve voltages.
The Power Factor Control (PFC) circuit is used to save energy. Taking advantage of the capacitive effect of the pixel elements allows the power supply to operate at a reduced duty cycle. Using a large inductor and the capacitive effect of the panel allows energy to be stored and accessed as needed.
A separate transformer supplies the +5VDC Stand-By B+ to the Digital board. This voltage powers the Microprocessor (IC201) and enables the Key Matrix and the Remote IR Sensor. This turns on the relay activating the rest of the Power Supply PCB. If this supply is missing or low the unit will not turn on. If this signal is not present check the supply voltage for the micro.
Power Supply Troubleshooting
If the Ve voltage is low or missing disconnect the power supply cable from the X board. If the Ve voltage rises the X board is probably shorted. If the voltage stays low the SMPS board needs to be replaced. If the Vs voltage is low or missing it can be caused by a defective X or Y board. Check both boards for short circuits before replacing the SMPS board. If the Vs voltage is too high an effect called diffusion may occur. Diffusion is when the initialize voltage is too high. Excessive voltage causes unwanted pixel firing creating intermittent sub-pixel flashes. Power on-off cycling can be caused by a shorted component on the Logic board loading down the standby 5V.
Power Supply Failure Examples
One possible symptom is defects in the video such as herringbone noise
# Other symptoms would be similar to X or Y board failures as the SMPS board provides the power to these boards
# Before replacing an X or Y board be sure the Vs, Vsc and VE voltages are being provided by the SMPS board.

Power Supply Adjustments
Each plasma panel has a unique voltage setting required to display a picture properly and maintain long life. Incorrect adjustment of the power supply can create picture errors. Whenever a power supply board is replaced the new board must be adjusted to match the panel values shown on the sticker.
If a power supply board is replaced it is imperative that the new power supply be adjusted to match the existing panel settings. Incorrect adjustment can cause the picture to be too dark or too bright. Extreme maladjustment can greatly reduce panel life.
Locations of the test points and adjustments on a typical SMPS power supply. These adjustments must be performed when the SMPS or the panel is replaced.
Protection Circuits:  Over Voltage Protection
The Power Supply PCB has an Over Voltage Protection circuit as well as a regulator circuit. It is designed so that when an Over Voltage condition occurs in any part of the power supply it does not affect another output stage. The following table shows the Over Voltage specifications. The unit must be unplugged to reset this error.
Intermittent shutdown may be caused by an over-voltage condition.
Item
Over Voltage Point
D3.3VDC
4.7VDC
D6VDC
8.2VDC
VA (typically 75VDC)
94VDC
Over Current Protection
If a short circuit occurs on either the VS, VA, 12V, 6V or 3.3V lines, the SMPS stops operating, but should not fail. When the short circuit is removed from the source line, the Power Supply will operate normally again.
Power Supply Diffusion
The diffusion problem can be seen using the sweeping test pattern located in the customer menu under the burn protection selection. Diffusion is caused by a power supply that is not properly matched to the panel.
Over diffusion is the most common symptom, this is where the SMPS is providing to much Vs voltage for the panel.
SMPS adjustments to eliminate the diffusion problem.
Allow the unit to warm up 15 to 20 minutes to stabilize the SMPS Operation
# Access the Customer Setup Menu, then Screen burn protection, then Signal Pattern
# Adjust the Vs voltage while monitoring the screen. Adjust the Vs voltage up or down, if the diffusion error is not diminished as the voltage change approaches 10 volts the panel needs to be replaced
# Do not adjust the Vs voltage more than 15VDC from the value printed on the panel label.

Samsung plasma TV – Logic board troubleshooting tips

Logic Board Troubleshooting
A defective logic board will often display the video signal but with the wrong color or a smeared picture. If you can recognize the video pattern but there are errors in color , smearing or jittering, suspect that the Logic board is defective.
The logic board creates the timing pulses to create the X, Y and Address waveforms. Additionally the logic board is involved in controlling the power on operation. Logic board defects will usually cause the screen to show a full image but with some type of error. The error can be inverted video, jitter or improper color or luminance. If the logic board is defective all of the pixels will be illuminated but the video will be incorrect. The error may be sectionalized or across the entire panel. Another common error is related to a loss connection on the LVDS cable. It is possible to isolate the Logic board from the Main board by accessing the test pattern on the logic board.
Isolating the Logic Board
1. Access the service menu by pressing Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power with the power off.
2. Access the PDP option sub menu item.
3. Access the Pattern select submenu item.
4. Scroll through the different patterns. These test patterns are generated on the
Logic Board. If these patterns are displayed properly, the problem is before the logic board. This can be problem with the Logic-Main Board LVDS interconnect cable or a problem with the Main board. If the patterns are not displayed properly, the problem is probably caused by a defective Logic Board. Additionally a dead set may also be caused by the Logic board not sending out the relay on command. This can also be a set that cycles on or off quickly at startup.
To troubleshoot video problems or to make sure every board after the main board is working properly, the internal test patterns can be accessed in the logic board then move to the main board test patterns. Even the customer menu's can be used as a test pattern.
Logic Board Forced Operation
Step 1- With the Main PCB removed, short pins 1 & 5 on the 24P ribbon cable to the SMPS to turn the panel on. This will turn on the secondary voltages of the SMPS. Shorting the POWER ON connection to ground is the same as the power on from the power switch.
Step 2 - Carefully short pins 5 & 6 of the 6 terminal test point on the Logic PCB together. When the panel is powered on, the PDP will automatically “play” the internal test patterns stored on the Logic board that would normally be accessed only through the service menu. This will force the logic board into a loop where the internal test patterns will be displayed in sequence.
Step 3 - After the proper pins are shorted, apply power to the AC input to the panel. The TV will power up by itself and if all is well with the logic, X, Y buffers and address boards, the panel will “play” the test pattern loop. If everything looks normal the possible problem is the main board which is the only thing left not in the circuit.
The patterns that will be displayed from the logic PCB are located after the LVDS cable. If the patterns look normal, the SMPS, logic, X, Y, buffers and panel are all working properly. Use this method in cases where the video is so distorted that the menus can not be seen to access the test patterns using the service mode.
Logic Board Failure Examples
Logic PCB failures The test patterns located on the Logic board are being displayed along with the incoming video.
If the relay cycles repeatedly or will not close, verify the Standby +5VDC supply is not being pulled down by a defective Logic Board
