Steps

Time Required

40 minutes - 3 hours

Introduction

This is a complete tear down of the Sony ICF-CS15iP

Step 1

All of these damned screws are approx. a PH1 size.

Step 2

Pull on the back to ease it off, and there will be some wires that will need to be disconnected. (Green circled wire not necessary to remove but recommended)

Step 3

Unfasten the 4 screws holding in the board.

Step 5

Remove the following screws and be careful with the dock connector, as it has springs that can fly to oblivion.

Step 7

I chose to eat pretzels, you can have a 10 course meal prepared by Gordon Ramsay

Step 8

These are some good 4 ohm 5 watt speakers.

Step 9

My specific board has some damage from the previous owner, and I only made it worse lol.

Step 10

This is definitely all the screws that need to be unfastened.

Step 11

I used a PH1 and PH0 screwdriver.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Buen día y muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de documentar el proceso de desarmar un CS15iPN. Tengo una pregunta por favor: ¿Cómo pudo desconectar los ribbons (que se observan en la foto del paso 4) de sus conectores en la tarjeta? Yo desarmé mi equipo y no me atreví a desconectar los ribbons porque me parecía que estaban "soldados" permanentemente en los conectores.
