Introduction
To complete this guide, the iHome must be opened up and the speaker cover needs to be removed to access the infrared receiver. The receiver should be replaced if, after replacing its batteries, the remote does not work.
This replacement is best done on a flat surface with plenty of room to work. Opening up the iHome involves the removal of many different screws. It is important to keep track of these screws! You can do this by placing the screws on a magnetic mat in the order of removal. This allows for easy reassembly.
