  Re-Assembly Guide 

12-Feb-08 

As you might imagine, the re-assembly of the player is the same as the disassembly, just in reverse.  
There are some tricks however, which is why I have prepared a separate step-by-step guide for re-
assembly. 

With practice this should only take you about 15-20 minutes, start to finish.  If you want larger 
versions of the images imbedded here, you can download them from the Depot page on my website.  
They are the same images as in the disassembly guide, just in a different order. 

STEP 1: 

GET READY 

Make sure you have all the pieces! (1a)  Hopefully you put all the little bits into a plastic tub or 
something when you disassembled the player.  Prepare your work area; lay down a towel or cloth on 
a level surface, get lots of light, your tools (see Recommended Tools & Supplies), and a comfy chair. 

1a. 

 

STEP 2: 

INSTALL HARD DRIVE 

Hold the main board in one hand, and the drive in the other (2a).  Start the drive onto its connector, 
holding the opposite end up to clear the volume switches (2b).  Gently but firmly push the drive all 
the way onto its connector, rocking it back and forth as you go (2c).  Now flip the player over and 
use your #0 Phillips screwdriver to put the top left screw in place (2d).  Leave the two screws on the 
bottom for the next step.
