How to open NS3 compact?

Post by Michldigital »

Hi,
I want to open my NS3 compact because the cables of the Pitch Stick/Mod Whell have contact with the keyboard one that makes terrible noise :wtf:

Is there a tutorial/video how to open the NS3 compact?

Thanks a lot.

Greetings
Maik

You'll need a Torx T30 screwdriver for all the screws.

Remove the 7 screws on the back, located along on the bottom edge of the folded over red top panel, and the one "out of place" screw on the bottom of the board, which is located roughly under where the program knob to the right of the display is. Also the 3 on each of the side panels (without losing the washers). The top panel lifts and rotates up toward the back. Be carfeul, as it is still attached via a ribbon connector. If you're even thinking about opening the board, you probably know this, but the ribbon connector will have little locking release pins at its ends.

Perhaps a little OT...
My heart stopped when I opened your link.
I recognized the man who 's doing the job
My vendor...and that is MY KEYBOARD, just bought it few weeks after this video.

It doesnt matter. The E b is still working well.
Good job
