There is a manual on the Elecraft web site with an illustrate procedure for R/R the DSP board, including removing and replacing the Front Panel Assembly, of course. It is here

Chuck, Removing the front panel is easy. It is separating the front panel and DSP board which is more involved. All you have to do is remove the screws and pull the front panel board off. There are rectangular cutouts on the bottom which can be used to pry the front panel off with a screwdriver. The many pins provide a good grip, so you have to pry it off a bit. With the K3 (not K3S) you had to remove the left side panel to allow you to remove one screw from the RF Board to 2-D connector which interfered with the removal of the Front Panel assembly, but the K3S has a notch in the board and that step is not necessary. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/16/2017 10:01 AM, Chuck Chandler wrote: > I will be putting my K3S on the bench this weekend to try to trace an > intermittent bug.
