Thanks for detailed instructions Joe. The radio in question wouldn't power up/charge the battery and the barrel power connector felt a little 'wiggly', so I was thinking I had to open it up and fiddle with that connector. Turns out it was a faulty power supply, so (at the moment) there's no need to open it up and potentially mess things up worse then before. Thanks again.
