Opened up my E30 II Lite (pics incl.)

[mike7877]

I had to detach a ribbon cable to get this out, and to reattach it I have to unscrew the front PCB. Unfortunately for me, I can't do that without a trip to the house hardware store because my Allen Key set is not long enough lol

I'll get by without it for a while... :/

Once I get the proper tool to reach the board, I'll open my non-lite E30 II and we can compare them.
(and if I'm feeling adventurous, my L30 II !)

On the last picture, the one above the attachment (not sure why that's there...), directly before the VVS, the shot of the main chips...
Look at the one at the top left!

It's like they printed over what the chip is...

Proprietary?
Sekret?
For processing?

I've seen stuff washed off in stuff before, looked like it was sanded with a Dremel that had a 2000 grit bit on the end lol.
But never something like that!

Has anyone else?

It's nice they used 105C Rubycon caps.
