Removal. First, remove the front cover and switch mat using the procedure on
page 6–11. Next, remove the chassis assembly using the procedure on page
6–19. Then, use the following procedure to disassemble the chassis.
STOP. If you are disassembling only for cleaning, inspect the chassis assembly to
determine whether further disassembly is required to perform internal cleaning.
If so, then proceed.
1. Remove the display module and inverter board using the procedure on
page 6–16.
2. With the switch flex-circuit assembly folded toward you, place the chassis
assembly on a soft, static-free surface with the main board side facing up.

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the flex circuit, take care not to twist the flex
circuit at its connection to the main board.
e. When all six snaps are released, lift the main board and switch flex-cir-

banana jacks.
f. Use the needle-nose pliers to remove both wires from the back side of
the banana jacks. Be careful not to deform the connectors attached to the
