The case is plastic welded on all 4 sides, no clips to simply open. Use a hobby tool (Dremel) to split the case. Caution: Lots of fine black dust particles.
Internally, the circuit board is wrapped in aluminium sleeve which acts as heatsink. When you cut and the silver appears, you are through.
Input circuit has 5A fuse wrapped in heatshrink next to AC socket. If your LED's are dead, you might be lucky and just need to replace fuse. De-solder to replace.
CANBUS daughter board mounted vertically off PCB. 5 pin connector to integrated LED and 60% charge switch. CANBUS communication is via Giant connector pin 2 (brown or yellow) pin 3 (red or pink) pin 4 (green).
If your original Giant charger dies, you can use a 42v (4A/6A) compatible and harvest the old 5 pin cable from the old charger and use thick RED and Black wires. You do not need the CANBUS signalling circuit to charge battery.
