Circuit Board Removal


By Ali - Posted on 17 November 2008

The last bit is the circuit board. With the battery out this is fairly easy to remove.

There are no screws holding it in place. It is simply latched into the body and can be removed by pulling the body slightly.

When extracting the circuit board be careful with the WiFi antenna which is tucked into the body below the power switch.

Also be careful about the bus coming from the side buttons to the board. This bus can be pulled out from the circuit board and it can be reconnected.
