Squeeze the bottom of the front panel together and gently separate the two case halfs. Use caution so that you do not damage the thin ribbon cable connecting the front panel to the main unit. 7. Remove diode D208. Located on the circuit board behind the front panel. See diagram. 8. P P Place the diode you just removed [D208] in the location shown for (D212 ) and solder in place. Observe proper polarity. The diode should face the same direction as diode D210 and D211. 9. Reverse steps 1 - 6 to reassemble. 10. Reset the microprocessor. CAUTION: This modification requires soldering equipment rated for CMOS type circuits. It also requires familiarity with surface mount soldering techniques . If you do not have the proper equipment or knowledge do not attempt this modification yourself. Seek qualified assistance. Time required for this modification is 30 minutes or less. ! ======== W201 ! ! ======= W202 ! ! ______________ -------------------! ! [D206] [D210] ! ! thin ! CN203 ! [D207] [D211] ribbon ! Q ! !
