I have one to repair, but getting it apart has stumped me.
It has one large PCB that slides into grooves in the case, which is basically a large extruded tube.
I have removed the couple of screws that seem to locate the pcb, and undone and what appear to be clamp screws on the bottom to clamp some tab power transistors to the bottom ov the case as a heatsink. There is nothing visible holding the PCB in place.
There is not much to pull on to extract the pcb, so I have drilled a small hole on the one vacant bare patch of board to get a hook in and something to pull on, but pull as hard as I can it will not budge, not even a tiny amount.
What a stupid design, but there must be a way to get the board out. Any ideas?
