    • There are two plastic pins holding the PCB in place. You will have to break them.

    • Undo the connection between the PCB and the solar panel with a soldering iron. Do not pull the cables out, this may result in severe damage to the cables or PCB.

    • Top tip: for one time at least, you can redo the plastic pins holding the PCB by pressing a semi-hot soldering iron on the plastic.

    • Use a flat object like a bank card to avoid bending the solar panel.

    • This Waka Waka has been opened up previously to this teardown. Since the solar panel was originally glued in place, the solar panel was re-attached using double sided tape. When putting your Waka Waka back together, you could either choose glue or double sided tape. Both work fine.

Hallo Harm. Geweldig om je documentatie te vinden.

Per abuis de scharnierende klepstandaard los getrokken. Maar het lukt me niet om die weer terug te duwen.Puzzle. Uitsparingen moeten in elkaar vallen? Zou het liefst natuurlijk de boel niet demonteren.

Gebruik m ook op m'n racefiets .

Graag advies.

Groeten Karel
