    If you are not used to working on these small circuits
    send the radio to your local ham repair station.
    I cannot teach soldering via packet radio so
    only do if you can solder in small places.
 
STEP 1 - Remove top and bottom cover
 
STEP 2 - Remove 3 knobs from front of radio
 
STEP 3 - Remove nut from shaft of the channel selector
 
STEP 4 - Remove nut from the microphone connector
 
STEP 5 - Remove front plate from radio, This has
         snaps on top and bottom, SO BE CAREFUL !!
 
STEP 6 - Remove 3 small philips screws that hold
         the PC board to the front of the radio.
         DO NOT CUT WIRES !!!
 
STEP 7*- Locate tabs that are holding the display to
         the PC board and bend straight. BE CAREFUL
         DO NOT BREAK OFF !!!
 
STEP 8*- Remove display from pc board and set aside.
 
      *  Step 7 and 8 can be eliminated if you can find
         the 2 lites that light up the display from the back
         of the pc board
 
STEP 9 - Locate lites (6). 1 lite under the off/on sw
         3 above the row of small switches. These 4
         lites have a blue rubber cover on them.
         2 lites mounted where the lcd display was.
 
STEP 10- Replace lite under power switch, remember to
         use the blue cover over the new lite as well
         as the yellows sleeves on wires. This lite
         you solder from the front.
 
STEP 11- Replace 3 lites that are above the micro switches
         on the front of the pcboard. This will have
         to be un-solder from the back. Also replace the blue
         covers over the 3 lites.
 
STEP 12- Replace 2 lites that stick through holes that
         go where the lcd display is, also replace the
         yellow sleeves. These lites solder from the back.
 
STEP 13- Re-install the lcd display and be sure there is
         no contamination of the contacts on the board and
         lcd display. Be shure to re twist the tabs on the
         display that goes through the pc board. This display
         must be tight to the pc board or the display will
         not work either with missing lcd segments or
         no segments on. This lcd display shows the freq.
         signal strength, channel number, and other functions.
 
STEP 14- Test the display by powering up the radio. If you
         are getting missing numbers, pull the lcd display
         and clean the contacts on the pc-board and the
         display. I did by scrapping the pc board with a
         screw driver as well as the lcd display contact
         ribbon.
 
STEP 15- assemble the radio and check the display at each
         major assembly point.
 
STEP 16- Reset the cpu as shown in your owners manual. This
         is because that the cpu is located on the board
         you were working on and may have some bad data after
         working on the rig. You may have to reset the cpu
         when you test the rig in order to show the
         full lcd display
