RF Box Blues

Post by Trampoline »

Yes, another topic about removing the RF box. While I was in the process of trying to remove this stubborn piece of equipment, I sort of bent the corner of the motherboard a little bit (just a bit). I also might have scratched it (once again, just a little bit) and the excess motherboard that was sticking out (the whitish stuff got broken off taking barely any of the motherboards whitish stuff (the stuff inside the motherboard, I don't know the technical terms). Will this still work? I am still working on removing it and only have one corner removed. Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks,
Jesse

Well, if you could take a digital picture of the corner in question someone (maybe me even!) could probably tell you if youve done something bad to you motherboard. You could use photobucket, I use that for uploading my pictures. Did you actually break a physical peice of the motherboard off? That corner has a lot of wsted space that is just covered with a ground area, so youre most likely OK. All the same, please send a picture, I would love to help you out.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!

Hey thanks! I'll try to take a picture soon, though I'm not too worried about it. It is just a very slight bend. I finally got the RF box off. Thank goodness! That took way too long.
Take care,
Jesse
