c.
Remove both EPROM’s as follows: using a small, straight-blade screwdriver, carefully
pry up one end of EPROM just a little bit. Pry up other end a little. Go back and forth until
EPROM is loose.
Trying to pry out the EPROM in one step will bend the EPROM pins.
d.
Remove new EPROM’s from container. They should have a higher dash number or letter
than ones removed.
Precautions against electrostatic discharge are critical at this stage.
e.
Install new EPROM’s as follows: orient EPROM with notched end in direction shown in
Figure 5-15. Align left end of EPROM with left end of SRAM memory IC (U10) and
make sure pins are all straight and part-way into each socket hole when EPROM is set on
socket - look along the board, beneath the EPROM for pins bent under. Once pins all align
properly, push EPROM slowly but firmly into socket, keeping it straight.
NOTE: If pins do not align well, very carefully push EPROM against a flat surface to form
pins inward until they are parallel.
f.
Install bezel (Figure 5-17 (4)) on keypad panel (1) and secure with ten screws (32) and
four screws (33).
