Replace broken key

Post by Lizard King »

One of the keys on my trinity pro is cracked. I found a replacement. Where can I find instructions on how to replace it.


Also: where can I buy a replacement for the knob on the volume slider? Mine is missing.

Thanks.

Service manual

Post by Lizard King »

I found a service manual but all it shows are pictures. It doesn't describe which screws to remove to remove which sub assembly.

For Trinity owners information: Replacing the keys or other internal repairs is a doable job if you take your time and use a magic marker to mark what size screw (there are basically 3 sizes) goes in what hole.
Be gentle and careful not to break off any plastic tabs. As someone mentioned taking digital close-ups of where the components and connectors go can be a life saver.
While you are in there I would disconnect and spray deoxidation spray (5% is recommended. Higher concentration than that can leave a residue and create more problems) on all connectors and reconnect. Some of the connectors may have a locking tab so be observant. I believe one the the ribbon cables just slides out of the connector.
The spray can be purchased at any electronics store. This can solved a myriad of weird behavior problems and save a hugh repair bill.
Good luck. The Trinity is a breeze to disassemble compared ti the TritonLE.
