Drive PCB
  • Remove two PH1 screws

  • Gently pull up on the ribbon retaining tab. Do NOT pull on ribbon. It will slide itself out in final step

  • Orange/Yellow steps only required if you need to remove the entire PCB

  • Gently pull up on the ribbon retaining tab. Ribbon is attached to underside of PCB via a sticky pad. Gently pull the ribbon away from pad

  • Desolder both points. Red (Left) Black (Right)

  • Gently press up on the PCB where you removed the two PH1 screws and rotate the board upside down

  • If your drive is "dead" this is where I would suggest replacing your electrolytic capacitors. There are 12 on the Thomson drive
