Emax

Paul,
I'm an absolute amateur when it comes to electronics. However, with
the help and guidance of this user group, I did manage replace the
burnt out power supply with a new one and it wasn't rocket science!

If you follow the thread from message #4003 you should get the whole
procedure.

Where I came unstuck was in replacing my LCD, which is why I need to
replace the button panel.

Good luck,
Alan

emax up before, and i have no clue what i'm supposed to even send you.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
