Einleitung

You may have broken the display to your Minimove boombox. This guide will direct you in removing the current display and re-installing a new one. The display is part of a daughterboard that must be replaced altogether if your display is not working. This guide will require extensive disassembly of the Minimove.

    • 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.

  2. AefiKOflRYyH4eTk

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

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

  3. KSj5nDHGMHNFVXuR

    • 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.

  4. 4pkB2QeWnc5MwUnx

    • 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 …

    • To remove the back panel, use the plastic opening tool and gently work around the outline of the panel. The outline wraps around the sides and can be spotted at the top back of the device.

    • 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.

    • The speaker housing may require more force than expected to remove because it is held together by a thin layer of rubber. Do not be afraid of using more force if you are unable to remove it on the first try.

    • When the housing is removed the rubber adhesive will come off. This should not effect your device's functionality in any way.

    • Grab the outside of one speaker housing and pull outwards (starting with the top) while holding the main casing still with your other hand.

    • Remove the other housing on the opposite side the same way.

    • Be careful when removing the daughterboard. There are still two wires connecting the display daughterboard to the radio motherboard which can be damaged or ripped if recklessly removed.

    • Gently lift the display daughterboard straight up and remove it from the case.
