S.O.S
Hi there,
I have a Samsung PCD-650 audio system (you know, that old stuff) and I would like to repair it( I've found the problem and I think I know how to repair it). The only thing is that I cannot open the box in order to reach circuitry. As the holes to reach the screws are really deep, I thought that I could undo them with a long screwdriver, but, although it's pulled like a magnet and fits well, it doesn't unscrew. I find that really odd, so if you have lived the same experience or know how to fix this thing, please reply, i'm going crazy without music / Thanx a lot, eLeNa |

For 1 you need a torch to examine the heads. For 2 you need to apply moderate seperating force whilst turning the screws. Also there may be plastic locking tabs involved. Lotsa luck !! -- Regards ........ Rheilly Phoull |
