Hi again, I hope everybody on this thread is fine! I was off for about 3 weeks and I was far from the PB100 I am working on so I couldn't have any kind of news but I will be back in short and will let you know about the new progress. Short before leaving I came to know that there are caps under the LCD case as well and that they are likely to be leaking as well, may anybody give me hints on how to open the monitor case?
Thank you once again! Gaetano Il giorno sabato 17 agosto 2013 22:29:35 UTC+2, Wesley ha scritto: > > Thanks to everyone for their input.
