Introduzione

Questa guida ti mostrerà come aprire il tuo Time Capsule per la prima volta. Prenditi tutto il tempo necessario per il primo passaggio, specie se il tuo Time Capsule ha qualche anno: l'adesivo può indurirsi parecchio.

    • Appoggia un panno o un materiale simile su una superfice piatta e pulita. Appoggia il dispositivo a tesa in giù sul panno.

    • Apri il Time Capsule esponendo le viti che lo tengono insieme. Le viti sono nascoste dalla base in gomma, che è la faccia infeeriore del dispositivo.

    • Usa una pistola termica o un asciugacapelli per scaldare la base in gomma, per ammorbidire l'adesivo che la tiene ferma.

    • Iniziando in un angolo, solleva attentamente la base in gomma evitando che si trappi. Puoi usare un plettro o un piccolo righello in plastica per separare la gomma dal metallo.

    • Prenditi tutto il tempo necessario per evitare di trappare la gomma. assicurati di non surriscaldare il dispositivo.

    • Se strappi dell'adesivo non preoccuparti: l'adesivo restante è più che sufficiente per reincollare la base in gomma durante il rimontaggio.

    • Durante il rimontaggio puoi scaldare la base in gomma: Questo permetterà all'adesivo di aderire meglio alla scocca in metallo del dispositivo.

    Slowly start peeling at one corner... worked better than shown on the pictures.

    Slow down particularly near the bottom label where it is stiffer. Either that or I needed to give it more heat. Going too fast can risk tearing the rubber base if the adhesive is strong.

    If you are wondering if the Time Capsule will still work as a router if you remove the HDD and leave it out, the answer (according to another webpage I read) is YES, it will still work. Apparently, you get a warning with the AIrPort Utility about a missing HDD, but it still works. I wanted to keep and reuse the 1TB Hitachi HDD for offsite data backup.

    Use an iron instead of a heating gun or hairdryer!

    Gradually raise the temperature while checking for separation, while moving over the rubber. I first cleaned the rubber with some soap, to avoid scorching dust or grease. The setting for synthetic fabrics seemed to do the job with my Tefal iron; probably a little over 100 degrees centigrade. No steam off course!

    Worked like a charm without leaving almost any residual glue.

    Sticking the rubber sole back after the repair was also successful.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    Adhesive tape used is Nitto No. 5015. I found a piece of a back-paper left underneath the rubber…

    Is there a possibility to change an already changed 2TB SATA to a bigger one? Mine is full. because I added another MacBook Pro, but I’d rather not buy a newer TimeCapsule

    I have a heater plate from my beer fermenting days. Sat the router on this rubber side down for an hour or so and the rubber came off easily and cleanly. A pet bed heater may work just as nicely.

    • Una volta rimossa la base in gomma dal dispositivo, svita le 8 viti Philips PH00 che fissano la scocca inferiore in metallo alla scocca superiore in plastica.

    • Usa un cacciavite Philips #00.

    • Alcuni modelli del Time Capsule hanno 10 viti. Il modello A1254 ha due viti nell'angolo in alto a destra, come mostrato nella seconda immagine. In questo caso assicurati di rimuovere tutte le 10 viti.

    Confirmimg 10 screws for Model A1355

    Larger screwdriver size can help with sticky screws.

    ElvinC -

    One of my screws was already stripped by Apple, so I had to drill it out.

    CraigH -

    Instead of removing the rubber floor, I cut windows in the rubber base at the designated places and dug them out. To do this, I had rectified the photo and printed it out as a square with an edge length of 19.8 cm and used it as a stencil.

    Statt den Gummiboden zu entfernen, habe ich an den bezeichneten Stellen Fenster in die Gummiplatte geschnitten und ausgehoben. Dazu hatte ich das Foto entzerrt und als Quadrat mit der Kantenlänge 19,8 cm ausgedruckt und als Schablone benutzt.

    • Posiziona il Time Capsule in modo che il retro del dispositivo (con le porte ethernet) sia rivolto verso di te.

    • Solleva il bordo sinistro della scocca in metallo e ruotalo lentamente attorno al bordo destro del dispositivo.

    • Per evitare dei danni, non sollevare tutta la scocca in metallo o fare forza. Come mostrato nella seconda immagine, la ventola è fissata alla scocca in metallo e collegata alla scheda madre vicino alla presa d'alimentazione.

    • Poiché in molti hanno rotto il cavo della ventola, è consigliato NON fare leva sul connettore per scollegarlo. Sii MOLTO attento con questo connettore: è molto delicato. Se devi scollegare la ventola dalla scheda madre, usa uno spudger o delle pinzette stando MOLTO attento.

    It is really not necessary to disconnect the fan and you risk breaking it off of the logic board. :(

    I'd destroyed the connection between my fan and logic board by trying to remove the fan. This is a bigger problem than a broken hard drive. DO NOT TRY TO DISCONNECT THE FAN. Instead be careful with the base (making sure not to stretch the fan wire) as your proceed to step four.

    I wish I had read the comments too!! DO NOT try to disconnect the fan!!!! The connector broke off with out a lot of force. Now I have a worthless piece of metal and plastic!!!!

    mightyquinn6362 -

    This is not my guide, but in order to try to prevent future damage, I've edited the guide to warn against disconnecting the fan from the logic board. Hopefully the update will be approved soon :0\

    Jeff G -

    Replaced 2 x 1500 uF capacitors ant the Time capsule is back to work !

    Thanks for this guide.

    I had no issues removing the fan plug from the board.

    angelopadilla -

    I used a block to lean the cover on so it didn't fall completely flat on the surface. The wire connecting the fan is too short for that.

    It seems to me that the fan on the lid is not installed correctly. The air intake is blocked by a lid. The exhaust rests against the hard drive. It is more logical to turn the fan over, then the air intake will open, and the air flow will be along the components of the motherboard

Conclusione

Per rimontare il dispositivo, segui le istruzioni in ordine inverso.

I accidentally edited this page, instead of the fan. Could anyone tell me how to reverse that/reverse it for me? Thanks!

Jamy Mahabier -

Just un-edit the page to what it used to be.

Reid Fleishman -

must I put back on the rubber bottom or can I leave it off for maximum airflow?

Strider -

My thought exactly. I left it off and put small felt pads on each corner for noise reduction AND for better airflow.

Tkappock -

cann anyone tell me what kind of screws the timcapsul has on the bottom, I kind of lost them and need to get replacement screws but io can not find anything under PH0 Screws online…

ginol95 -

My TC was made lot of noise and warming. (I thonk was the HDD problem) When I opened and tried disconnect the fan it broken the board plug… Today I use without fan, the noise is over (was the fan) and it continue warming same way…

George Nass -
