I repair these everyday, so take that in to consideration while
evaluating my solutions...be careful what advice you follow on this web
site..just because someone claims to be an expert doesnt mean they are.
the
title says 4040 but your post doesnt say what model you have, so if you
have something other then what i have provided below, please let me
know.
Ill assume you have either a 31XX, 4XXX model
since those are the ones that are alittle harder to get apart then any
other
Magellan. Read below what I have replied to others with this question.
You have to be careful taking them apart
or youll Break the power port and the
head phone port right of the board And it
will probably screw the board up. had a few were ppl tried to Take them
apart the wrong way and broke the tracers right off the board (now there
junk)
Note: always start on the side opposite the power port
Anyway, after the screws are out, use your finger
nail if you can,(that's what I use) if not get yourself a very small
flat
screw Driver (jeweler type) and starting from the side opposite the
power
port (pictures below) and Head phone port (start on
the side the power BUTTON
is on, starting at the bottom, Slip it along the seam where the front
and back
of the case Meet, but don't force it down inside the 2 halfs, you want
to just
put the blade In far enough so it slides along the seem and that its is
separating the 2 just enough to unlock the tabs from Each other see the
pics There are 6 taps to break free..2 on the top, 2 on the bottom
and 1 on each side....don't worry about the on on the port side. Just
tip the
back of the case upward and that side will come free on its own. When
you put
it back together, the port side goes in 1st. Tip the rear of the case up
and
slide it in under the ports and then lay the back down on to the front
half and
it will snap together.
IF YOUR GOING TO SOLDER ON THE BOARD, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AS SOON AS
THE REAR COVER IS OFF!
the following advice pertains to the following magellan gps systems.
Magellan 800, 860, 2000, 2200t, 2500, 3000, 3050, 3100, 3140, 4000,
4040, 4050 and 6000t
this
is actually a very common problem with these magellan power
ports...they are poor quality from the factory and always and i mean
always fail..the new ports that you find on ebay are 100% better then
the factory port.
if your able to replace that power port
yourself, you can get one HERE, if not, ask the fellow that
sells them for help.
due to some dubious "experts" on fixya, im
not permitted to help you directly, but please follow the link above to
get further help.
let me know if
you need more help or info
