If you find instructions for opening the 750 case, please post them on the forum. I have searched (and searched) for how to open this model and found nothing. Very annoying that after all this time, nobody has come out with how to do this.
Hi there, if you look at the photo on the FCC website (linked below in this thread), the two extrusions protruding from the bottom of the cover (to the right in that photo) are small cylinders that mate with posts on the chassis that hosts the cover. In my unit, it seems that the factory glued these two parts together; they glued the cover to the posts. Percussive Maintenance is required (I mean, it was dead anyway, innit?).
To note that if you are planning to pull your unit apart, you want to go in from the side with the Ethernet and Power connections.
In my case, the unit did not power on, and it appears that there was a small 'sizzling' moment in the area of the power input circuitry.
Is that solder flux from the factory? The shiny metal heatsink has very clear fingerprints on it. I cleaned up the board and AR221 is gone.
If anyone from Netgear reads these things, I've loaded the barcode from the Motherboard (Including Fingerprints). Could you tell me what goes in AR221? My component has rotted away.
Or I can pull open another one that is still working and measure it!
Thanks,
