Steps:

1. Remove one Phillips #1 screw from the back of the handle

2. Remove the two Phillips #1 screws from the underside of the battery.

3. Pull down on the battery to slide it out of the handle.

4. Twist the filter and then slide it off to remove it.

5. Remove the four screws beside the battery indicator with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

6. Remove two screws next to the handle using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

7. Separate the handle and the front end of the vacuum cleaner.

8. Remove two screws from the protective case covering the circuit board.
9. On some models these screws are Phillips #0, on others Torx #8.

10. The circuit board casing is very stiff and can be difficult to remove. The key is to use a spudger to pry near the rectangular protrusions, as these cover the plastic clips.
11. It can also help to slide a jimmy under the casing where you just removed the screws from, and pry from there to loosen that side.

12. The circuit board may be covered with a great deal of translucent glue. We need to access three things under this covering: two power connections, and the switch cable.
13. Carefully scrape or cut the glue away from the screw heads and power cables.
14. In the same way, free the switch cable and its plug.
15. If using a sharp tool, be careful not to damage any wiring during this step.

16. Remove the screws holding down the power cables.
17. On some models these are Phillips #1 screws, on others Torx #8.

18. Gently disconnect the switch cable plug and lift the cable up from the circuit board so that it doesn't tangle with the black and white wires.

19. Rotate the ends of the power cables so that they fit through the slot in the lower circuit board casing more easily.
20. Remove the center part from the outer shell. Ideally, gently push the cables out through the slot, but this may be difficult — you may need to use some force to pull the center part away.

21. Remove the single screw inside the charging compartment with a Phillips #0 or Torx screwdriver, depending on the screw installed in your model.

22. Remove two screws from the cable casing.
23. These may be Phillips #0 or Torx screws, depending on the model.
24. Pry the cable casing up to free the clips. You may need to push on the clips with a screwdriver or tweezers.
25. Slide the casing off the cables.

26. Use a spudger to push the part marked in the image to remove the trigger from the charging compartment.
27. This requires a reasonable amount of force.
