10. Understand there are 4 wire connectors plugged into the circuit board that will need to be removed. They are all removed in the same manner. You will want to either mark or draw a picture as to which connector comes from what plug to make re-assembly easier. The wires are just the right lengths and naturally fit to the proper connectors if you want to skip the pictures/labels. See Fig 7: Behind the label Fig. 7 © 2007 Stephen Beck 11.

3. This is where you’ll need to get help from a friend if you don’t know how to solder. Read this description fully before starting. 4. Using your soldering iron, and de-soldering bulb for suction, one cap at a time, melt each connection, squeeze the bulb, and place it right on the molten solder and quickly un-squeeze the bulb while keeping it in place. This acts like a mini vacuum cleaner and removes the solder from the connection. You may have to do this a couple times to get as m

This is a critical step, so if you’re not sure on how to solder, find someone who does. A bad solder joint here can make the connection

13. Clean the PCB with the Q-Tips and rubbing alcohol. This removes the residue that came out of the solder when you heated it. Check to be sure that you don’t have any solder blobs bridging the gap between the brown sections of the board. If you do, re-melt the solder and remove the bridge using the de-soldering bulb. You should be able to see a clear green line between the positive and negative sides of each cap you soldered. (Fig 18) © 2007 Stephen Beck Check for, and remove s
