Rather than alarm you... I am going to comfort you with an entertaining VIDEO... If you take the brief moment to watch it. you will find the possibility of a "pack re-seat" solution...
(cleaning contact by removing & replacing the same pack) .
((in an industrial application should get you fired/demoted))
The contact surfaces should be properly treated "cleaned".
Or a fairly inconsequential pack replacement...
Watching this "TAMPATEC" can lead you to believe it is safe & easy to go INSIDE your set... Not correct.
First... you can get zapped (always dangerous) and
second...
a mere (tiny) static spark can DESTROY all the collateral equipment your are NOT trying to fix... BIG EXPENSIVE parts... rending your ENTIRE unit a useless pile of waste.
I adore watching this guy...
particularly liked the part where he ADMITS he damaged ANOTHER BOARD with ESD (Electro-Static discharge)
Professionals do remove power (whenever possible.
and do know how to wear ESD Wrist-Straps (anti-static) circuit pack handling!!
Watch the video... go to
shopjimmy.com and find out how much ($$) and IF you pack is available.
Take lots of pictures & put everything
exactly back as you found it. The only guarantee I will provide: If you go in
carelessly YOU
WILL further
damage your equipment.
Good luck & happy hunting
