Has anyone taken the Tesla apart .After a good year of use mine has slowly ground to a halt and i would like to get inside it to see if cleaning it out would help get it back on its feet

Due to the size of the vents in the sides and knocking round in my pockets for a year all the buttons have clogged up and the fire button is very hard to press only occasionally lighting up the board .In short it needs a good clean out

Using IPA you're safe to just drop it in a jugfull and let it soak a couple of days. When finished leave it somewhere well ventilated for a couple of days before firing, for reasons which will soon become obvious
