Battery replacement Instructions for DR. Who Wand From The
Wand Company
Things you will need:
You will need a soldering iron, some flux and a solder pump,
small tweezers or small flat head screwdriver is helpful as well. A flat razor
blade is also helpful. Have some contact cement to put the battery back in
place.
Note: Please refer to the last 3 steps so you know
what we are trying to achieve before moving forward.
Step 1. Using your small flat head screwdriver or
razor blade, stick it between the metal coupling below the top slide out piece
and gently pry the coupling loose. Once the coupling is off the entire unit
will slide out from the wand.
Step 2. You will now have the main plastic unit
removed from the wand. Inspect the unit carefully. You will see several
indented clips on the side. Using your screwdriver gently press down on those
clips to pry the unit in half.
Step 3. Once you have the unit in half you will see
several parts, The speaker with cover, Button presser with a small clear plastic
piece (Light Reflector), blue plastic side piece, and the main board
with the battery. Carefully unsolder the battery and remove it. The battery is
also stuck on the board with adhesive, so be sure to be gentle. Once you have
the battery removed using your soldering pump clean the area until you have 2
positive and negative contact holes.
Step 4. Take out your new battery and add your flux
to each positive and negative contact hole. Take the red wire from the battery
and put it in the positive contact hole and add a bead of solder to secure it
in place. Repeat the same step with the black wire from the battery on the
negative contact hole. Once the battery is in place secure it to the board
using a small dab on contact cement.
Step 5. Take the circuit board with the battery and
place it in one side of the wand casing. Make sure you push the wires around so
they fit, also make sure the top plastic wand lamp is placed secure, you might
have to move some wires around. Place the speaker cover on either way as it
fits both ways. Take the other side of the wand and close it but not all the
way.
Step 6. If you did everything correctly you should
have the wand partially closed with the clear plastic button piece (Light
Reflector) as well as the button sitting to the side Along with the blue
side piece. Take the light reflector piece and place it with the plastic nub
faced forward, this plastic nub reflects the LED light to the top of the
button. You might have to open the wand slightly wider to get it just right.
Once you get it just right take the button with the longer arm and fit it over
the plastic reflector with the long arm facing up towards the lamp. Once you
get it right close the entire unit and clip it back together and set it to the
side.
Step 7. Take the larger wand shaft and the blue
piece. The blue piece has a square on the end. Place this piece into the slot
with the square facing you. Place the coupling over the unit you previously
worked on and gently slide it into the wand shaft.
Step 8. Gently fasten the coupling back unto
the wand top to complete the entire procedure. After that slide the wand
back and forth slowly to make sure everything is working properly.
