This is a visual inspection to see what I'm up against. So without delay lets get into it.
Disassembly: First remove the foil around the rear of the bezel. Unthread the large black ring on the back of the connector. There is a large O-ring that will come out after the back has been removed. The RMI internally is divided into six sections. I have described them from Front Face to the Rear Connector. This is just to inspect the unit and see what I will have to plan for, as of yet I still have not found/received any documentation, so in a way, I'm just sort of spitting in the wind. You will please notice that I have removed the supports from the connector assembly so it just sort of hangs there. At this time I am not willing to dive deeper into the RMI, for fear of producing damage. As you will see in image number 4. The green wire has broken loose of the black motor. I guess I will have to repair it.
