ECU removal

Has anyone removed their ECU? I am going to send mine to Renntech but want to have some sort of idea how to remove it before I go poking around.

It's on the right side of the airfilter. Pretty easy to remove.

2004 c320 computer, is not reading...airbags, lock sensor - list is long.
the dealer says not enough voltage. says a reason could be - i jump started someone. someone had tried to jum start my car because the fuel pump died. i took it to my regualr mech - i had for prvoious cars. perhaps he jumped started a car.
however, how/can is ther fix, other than taking it to the dealer?
