Difficulty

Easy

Steps

7

Time Required

3 - 10 minutes

Introduction

The case of the device is fairly simple to remove and requires very little force. Once the case is removed, the IR receiver is secured by one screw. Thus, the repair is straightforward. Just be sure to handle the parts gently to avoid damaging the case rivets and the other items the IR receiver is connected to.

    • Unplug the cord connecting the top button panel to the projector,

    • Make sure to disconnect the end connected to the panel and not the chassis.

    • The cord is small and sensitive and could sustain damage if pulled out aggressively.

    • There are three Phillips screws securing the case on. Two are inside the opening left by the previous step, and the third is located on the underside of the projector. Remove all three.

    • The third sticker may be located underneath a QA (quality assurance) sticker. If you are having trouble finding it, look for that sticker.
