Introduction

Use this guide to replace the daughter board of a Tivax STB-T9 Digital TV Converter Box.

The daughter board receives signals from the TV remote and transmits them to the main circuit board to control the TV. It also recieves signals from the buttons on the front of the converter (Power Button and Channel Up/Down). Without the daughter board, the converter will not work, so it is an essential component of the device.

    • Once the screws are removed, lift up on the back of the case and then slide it backwards to remove it from the device.

    • With the cover removed, you will be able to access the internal components of the device.

    • Locate the white connector attached to the faceplate by black wires.

    • Place your forefinger and thumb on the sides of the connector. With little force, you should be able to pull the connector out.

    • Do not pull the connector out by yanking on the wires. This could rip them out of of the connector and cause damage. Only pull using the white plastic connector.
