Procedure for Dismantling and Re-assembling the LK2
Step 1. Remove the boards from the LK2
Remember to keep all the screws and other parts that you remove from the LK2 in a safe place to re-use
later.
1.
Disconnect LK2 from everything and especially the mains (or Spark).
2.
Place a soft cloth on the workbench & lie the LK2 upside down on the cloth. Using a No2 posidriv
screwdriver, remove the 4 screws that hold the sleeve on to the LK2. Stand the LK2 on its facia and slide
the sleeve up and off. Carefully set it aside in a safe place where it will not get scratched or damaged.
3.
Remove the 4 allen bolts or screws (older units used screws) holding the speaker sockets on to the
back panel. Do this to both channels.
4.
Disconnect both transformer connectors (the cables going from transformer to board) from the board
5.
Lift the LK2 up so that it is standing on one of the heatsinks. Each channel is held into the tray by 2
countersunk screws that attach to the heatsink on the underside. Hold the channel that is now
uppermost (to prevent it from falling once it has been freed) and remove the two screws from this
channel only. Lie the LK2 down (correct way up) and remove the channel that you have just loosened –
this can sometimes be tricky so follow these instructions:
•
Pull the board slightly toward the front of the unit until the 3-pin cannon input socket at the rear is
clear of the back panel – it may sometimes be necessary to push the back panel slightly in the
opposite direction until the socket is completely clear.
•
Lift the end of the board containing the 3-pin cannon socket upwards (see picture) until that end
of the board is clear of the tray. Some delicate manoeuvring may be necessary, but don’t force it.
•
By carefully moving the board backwards & upwards, it should now be possible to lift it up and out of
the tray.
•
Repeat the above instruction for the other channel
Step 2/
1. Lift this end up until
clear of tray
2. Move the
entire board in
this direction
