Title: Howto disassemble a PCE IFU
Post by: Daedalus_ on 02/07/2016, 05:37 AM
Hi,

I recently got a PCE + IFU ( also a defective CD-ROM² ).

I've already disassembled the PCE and cleaned it, so now its white again, but I'm having trouble taking apart the IFU.

I cannot find any guide or video that could help and I also did not see a guide in the repair section ( https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?board=19.0 (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?board=19.0) )

I've removed all the screws of the IFU base, but when I try to lift or tilt away the back panel (where the audio/video & power connectors are housed) there is a obstruction.
I don't want to use any force and break something off. ^^
Can someone help?

Nvm. I found the issue. One of the Eject button/lever noses was the culprit.

Thread can be closed.

There is a section of the forum dedicated to this kind of stuff if you're looking for info on working on hardware in the future:
