Steve,

In our photos section, OGD has opened up a number of pads to show 
their insides. You can open these things up and do any number of 
repairs or alterations that occur to you (especially after warranty 
expires), or even just inspect the design. The interior holds a piezo 
for the head and FSR for the rim and wiring to the small circuit 
board. If you open up your pad, just go slowly so that you don't break 
any connections.
