Removing a Card from the Cage
WARNING
: The following information should only be used when
a card (Controller, or Video Reproducer) has failed and must be
returned to Alcorn McBride Inc. Removing a card carelessly
could result in further damage, which would not be covered
under your warranty.
PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!!
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Remove the magnetic front panel from the unit.
3. If removing a reproducer card, proceed to step 5. If
removing the controller card, use a Phillips head
screwdriver to remove four screws holding on the left
bracket holding the display and encoder knob. These
screws also hold on the powerful magnets that hold the
front cover – after removal don’t let the screws/magnets
slam together, they could break! Also, be careful of the
cables connecting the display and encoder. Observe the
polarity of these cable connections and be sure to
reconnect in the same way if either becomes
disconnected.
4. Inside the unit should be:
•
The Power Supply (a silver box on the left side)
•
The Controller Card (the card on the left with four
buttons on the lower end and an array of ten LEDs
on the top.
•
Various Audio and/or Video Reproducers - Cards
with one button on the top, an LED right underneath,
and a slot for an SSD.
5. Verify the stability of each card (Controller, Audio/Video
Reproducers) to make sure that it has not simply
become disconnected:
•
GENTLY
push on the card to make sure that is not
off of the tracks in the slot. If it is stable, proceed to
step 7.
6. If the card is not stable:
•
GENTLY
pull the card out of the slot.
•
Carefully align the card in between the guides. The
solder side of the circuit board should be facing
away from the power supply on the left.
•
GENTLY
push the card toward the back end of the
unit until you feel the pins lock into place.
DO NOT
FORCE THE CARD IN!
7. To Remove the Card:
•
Find the card that needs to be replaced.
