Einleitung

If the Minimove is not turning on when new batteries are used, the battery wires may have come loose or disconnected. With this guide, you will replace the battery wires for the Minimove by soldering. For more information on soldering reference the iFixit soldering guide.

    • Remove the two plastic screw covers on the back of your Minimove by inserting the flat end of your plastic opening tool between the screw cover and the back panel and prying it out.

    • It may be helpful to pull the plastic covers out with your fingers once the top of the cover has been revealed by using the plastic opening tool.

    • This step will require at least a 30 mm Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the two 12 mm screws.

    • The bottom panel screws and screw covers must be removed in order to access the back panel.

    • Remove the four grey screw covers by inserting the plastic opening tool underneath the screw covers and rotating around the circumference.

    • The adhesive on the screw covers should be sticky enough to put the covers back on when re-assembling the device.

    • Remove the two 8 mm screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Remove the two 12 mm screws with a long Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    One of my 12mm screws appears to be stripped, and neither of screwdrivers that are both long enough and narrow enough to reach it can turn it. Any ideas how to get it out? I have the other 5 screws out …

    • Be careful not to use too much force to remove the panel. The antenna wire is connected to the inside of the panel and may be damaged or ripped off if the panel is not gently removed.

    • After loosening the panel with the plastic opening tool, use moderate force to pry open the panel with your hands.

    • Carefully pull the panel off.

    • Be careful when removing the bottom panel. The plastic tab that runs alongside the right speaker between the upper brown radio motherboard and the lower green audio daughterboard may damage the device if the bottom panel is improperly removed.

    • Remove the bottom panel of the boombox by carefully pulling the panel straight backwards from the boombox until the motherboard and daughterboard are free.

    • Pull out the 5 white pinhead connectors using an IC (Integrated Circuit) extractor. Pinch the IC extractor just under the top lip of the wire housing.

    • There are two 10 pin connectors, one 8 pin connector, one 7 pin connector, and one 2 pin connector.

    • When reassembling, there is only one way to reinsert the pinhead connectors. Make sure the orientation matches that of the receiving connector on the motherboard.

    • Be careful when using the soldering iron. Do not let it come into contact with the boards or your skin.

    • Heat up the soldering iron to around 600 Fahrenheit / 315 Celsius.

    • Place the tip of the soldering iron on the solder where the wire is connected and melt it until you can detach the wire.

    • Visit the soldering iron guide for more help with desoldering and soldering.

    • After detaching the wire, move it away from the device.

    • Use a desoldering pump while the solder is still liquid to remove excess solder.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
