Digital AV Mixer WJ-AVE5 Disassembly

This is a Digital AV Mixer (Model WJ-AVE5) and we'll be covering the steps required to remove the top-board and controls.

Unscrew the stick extension by turning it left. If you're running into resistance try holding the shaft of the stick, during previous service this extension may have had Loctite applied to stock it from loosening.

This is the bottom of your Digital Mixer. There are Seventeen (17) screws that need to move forward.

Now the top-board should pivot up like a pizza-box allowing access to both the solder side of the top-board and the EMI Shielding for both the Primary Power Board and the Primary Control Board.
