I went for the approach of not loosening the ribbon cables, because I had serious doubts about my ability to reattach them without ruining the Touch. I hate those ribbon cable attacmhent things. Luckily, removing the screws with the ribbon cables attached, wasn't all that difficult.
But there was one screw hidden beneath the foam covering the ambient light sensor on the PCB's upper right. I did some unsuccessful prying before realizing the corner was stuck. If I had used more force, I would probably have broken the PCB. The Touch made one other attempt to make me ruin it: After removing the caps, the solder refused to make a bridge, so I decided to scrape off the protective covering of the PCB, to make the solder behave better. At the last moment, I noticed there is a very thin trace going between the soldering points of both caps, meaning that I would probably have ruined the board if I had proceeded. So I found some old copper wire, pre-soldered it, and used that as a bridge. Reassembling was easy, and now my Touch hopefully (and probably) sounds better than ever. :) -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- touch + duet + boom + radio / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7(32b)/avira free ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83412 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
