⚙️ Step 3: Unplug and Disassemble Safely

1. Disconnect the device from all power sources
2. Open the housing (if needed) to access where the cord connects
3. Take a clear photo of the internal connection – this helps during reinstallation

🔁 Step 4: Replace the Cord

• Remove the old power cord by detaching wires or plug-in connector
• Attach the new replacement power cord to the same terminals or connector
• Match the color coding (e.g. black = hot/live, white = neutral, green = ground)
