The breakdown that I first used is from TechRepublic: https://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/cracking-open-the-roku-2-xs/ Images 18, 24, & 28-30 were helpful.
Also, this youtube video was useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2KGYDw-q-4
Having a background in electronics, I guessed that removing the WiFi and Bluetooth antennas would
be the easiest way to stop RF output without harming any other circuitry- so I used some hefty wire
cutters to cut them off and for added measure cut the pcb connection to nearby broadcast chips
with an exacto knife.
No harm done, so both Rokus that were modified work fine with no measurable rf output. You do
take a risk bricking your media player, but for us worth it. So stay grounded and don't touch any pins
on chips if unnecessary.
Well done! Beats my hack of wrapping 3 sides of the roku ultra in double layered faraday fabric. Plus i'll get no more random heat warnings :)
Will try it out for sure.
