So the old-style MarsHydro 300w, has a nice thick bit of glass which we are going to remove for better heat penetration and cooling of the unit
Tools needed;
*Stanley Knife
*Phillips head screwdriver
*Heat gun/Hair dryer
*Hammer
[1]Start off by removing the 6 screws holding the unit together.
[2]Lift the base of the unit out of its casing, you will be greeted by the heat sink. Holding it in place is the 4 small outer Phillips head screws. Remove them.
[3]Now your unit should be all disassembled and ready to remove this glass.
[4]Use your heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the glue holding the glass in place. Now carefully with the Stanley knife cut the glue away.
[5]Heating the glue up again using the heat gun until its quite warm, get your hammer. And lightly tap on each corner of the glass until it breaks away.
[6]All complete, now reverse these steps too put the unit back together.
Hope this helps the people wanting to do this DIY but not sure where too start, as there is not much information on dissembling the Mars Hydro unit.
