Disassembling Midland X-tra Talk Radio LXT118 Circuit Board

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This is a guide to help replace a Circuit Board that is damaged or is not working properly in a Midland X-tra Talk Radio. By replacing the circuit board, you will have a new working Talk Radio. Within the Circuit board, the screen and microphone are attached. However the speaker and antenna can be modified separately when taking apart the Talk Radio. This will allow you to work on it separately. The only special skill you may use for this particular project is unscrewing screws, and cutting 2 wires.
