This is a stub.

This is a guide for completely dismantling a ColecoVision to gain access to the motherboard and to be able to clean the inside of the case. Opening the console is fairly straightforward with the only complication being removing the top of the case.

Tool needed:

  • A large Phillips-head screwdriver

Step 1 - Remove bottom screws

Flip the console over and remove the 7 screws from the bottom. Note: my ColecoVision only had 6 screws on the bottom, but there are 7 screwholes so I assume I was missing a screw.
