SmallHD Disassembly
Hello all,
I’ve recently acquired a used Cine13 for a very good price. While the monitor functions perfectly well, it does have some noticeable problems, such as; dust on the LCD panel, a burning plastic smell after being on for 30min, the joystick being slightly loose and the fan bearing getting slightly squeaky.
I have so far had it powered on for roughly 50 hours without any issue otherwise.
I come from a technical background, so I would like to open it up and have a look at the internals before sending it out for repair. I’ve managed to take all the screws and connectors locks off , but the back panel refuses to separate around where the battery connector is.
I obviously don’t want to pry it open and risk permanently damaging it.
I’m hoping someone from this community has some experience with opening these up and can share either a service manual or point me in the direction of what I’m missing.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
