    • In order to remove the magnetic pen, you must desolder the two wires connecting it to the circuit board.

    • When you desolder, apply the tip of the soldering iron to the soldered joint for approximately 5 - 10 seconds.

    • The soldered joint will turn to a liquid consistency. At this moment, remove the wire and soldering iron.

    • Repeat each of the following steps for the second soldered joint.

    • Soldering irons are dangerously hot. The soldering iron should only come in contact with joints being desoldered or soldered.

    • Make sure to allow time for your soldering iron to heat up before using it.

    • Make sure the tip of the soldering iron is cleaned so the tin on the tip is exposed. This will allow the soldering iron to work efficiently.

    • Now that the board is free desolder the two wires from the board.

    • Once the wires are desoldered remove the four screws from the black plastic mounting and then take out the circuit board and screen.

    • The ribbon cable connected to the writing surface should pop off he board easily, no soldering required!

    • The screws in the mounting are 7 mm long PH0 Phillips head.

    • Soldering irons and solder get very hot, ensure you are following proper procedure when desoldering the wires.

Sharlene Anderson -

Do you have a telephone number that I could call to find out what the problem could be, the table turns on but then shuts down I've changed the batteries and still does the same thing. Please help me, simmybrown1234@yahoo.com

Simmy Brown -

Okay so I have taken this thing apart and I see a black spot on the mother board and red lines going through the ribbon I'm guessing it's fried…..let me know if you get this message so I know weather or not I can toss this toy…..and I'm not wasting my time trying to fix it….thank you…
