TCI repair

Post by buzzawak »

I would like to replace the transistors in my TCI but having a problem removing the case.
Anyone done this and can provide some pointers on removing the tci cover without wrecking it.
Thanks

The waterproof coating on the PCB is also used to glue the case shut. immerse the whole thing for a day or two in acetone (sealed container - those fumes are NOT your friend!) then gently pry the 'plug' end out. I find a pair of thin butter knives work nicely.
