Flip Bob over and remove the 7 screws which hold the cover together.

There are five screws around bObsweep's edges. Two are installed at the top and bottom, and one on the right end of the main brush.

Remove the main brush. Unscrew the holder, and lift the brush out. Keep this screw separate from the others.

There are two screw holes inside the brush compartment: one in the centre, one on the left end. Remove both and keep aside for reassembly.

Note: Depending on your model, there may be only 6 screws installed on bObsweep.

Detach the Cover Circuit Plugs

Flip bOb back over so you can see the screen. Lift the cover up to reveal bObsweep’s main board and Detach the power inlet from the cover. Grip it and slide it out.

Remove three circuit plugs from the motherboard. Pinch the small white tab on the side of each circuit plug and pull straight up to release each from the motherboard.

1. On the bottom left corner: a small connector with red, black and white wires.

2. One thick white wire that attaches on the right side of the previous connector.

3. On the top edge of bOb’s motherboard: a wide multicoloured connector.

Remove the four screws holding the screen in place

Lift the screen up and it will detach from the cover.

The screen and cover buttons will lift out together, leaving an open space for your replacement parts to fit into.

If you remove the infrared sensor, replace it in its space on the new cover so the black side will be on bOb’s outside. (Highlighted Yellow)

Place the New Screen
