Removing the
Main-Board
Assembly
The circled numbers in this section refer to the items in Figure 5.3 on
page 127.
1. Remove the auxiliary connector bung
h (if fitted).
2. Remove the RF connector seal
j using one of the tabs located at the
bottom of the seal—preferably by hand. If necessary, lift up the tap
using the blade of a small flat-bladed screwdriver. Do not damage the
seal with the screwdriver.
3. Use a Torx T10 screwdriver to remove the screws
e connecting the
main board to the chassis.
4. Use a Torx T20 screwdriver to remove the screws
i connecting the
heat-transfer block to the rear of the chassis.
Note Make sure not to touch the thermal paste on the chassis, the heat-
transfer block, and the underside of the main board. If the thermal
paste is contaminated, you must re-apply thermal paste as
described in “Fitting the Main-Board Assembly to the Chassis” on
page 133.
5. Holding a hand over the chassis to catch the main-board assembly,
turn the chassis upside down and tap its fins on the edge of the
workbench. This will release the heat-transfer block from the chassis.
6. With the 50W/40W radio, the gap pad
1) on the L-shaped ridge
must be replaced each time the main board is removed.
