Opening the case
Note: This will void your warranty!
For Revision C2 (and probably C3):
- Remove the screws under all four rubber feet
- Lift the top case (it should not provide much resistance)
For Revision F1
This model is tricky to open as it has a total of seven plastic clips holding the top. You might need brute force, and there are chances you will damage your case.
- Remove the screws under all four rubber feet
- For the front clips: using two flat head screw drivers push bottom "grill" out until you can lift the top slightly
- For the front side clips: using a flat head screw driver push the bottom out until it clicks (slide it in from the corner, then work yourself to where the clip is)
- For the back side clips: these should be easy now with some wiggling
Serial
See port.serial for general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.
The Pinout is (with the Ethernet ports on top):
| GND | RX | TX | 3.3V |
Debricking
Reverting to original Firmware
For reverting to the original firmware, obtain the firmware from D-Link and flash it using the OEM easy installation.
