Disassemble the Fence Controller

Farm Fencing: Electric fence controllers...Solar? DC or AC what's inside them!
What happens here
Begin by removing the screws holding the back panels of the Zareba solar fence controller. The host uses a T10 Torx screwdriver. If screws are in deep holes, magnetize the screwdriver by rubbing it against a strong magnet to easily retrieve them. Once the screws are removed, carefully pry off the back panels. One panel covers the battery compartment, and the other covers the circuit board compartment. Disconnect the battery terminals to prevent any electrical hazards while working. The host recommends taping the exposed negative terminals. Inspect the circuit board for any debris, such as spider nests, which can cause short circuits and lead to malfunction. The circuit board typically contains transformers and a capacitor that stores energy for the fence pulses.
Goal: Access the internal components, including the circuit board and batteries, for inspection and replacement.
