    • Use a plastic spudger to remove the front preset selection buttons.

    • We recommend you remove all of them for easier access.

    • Gently reach underneath and pull off the mesh speaker cover. It only clips in so don't worry about breaking anything.

    Edit

    “it only clips”

    Broke 3/4 “clips” on the first try,

    you should be worried.

    • Detach a pin connector at the top of the device using a metal spudger to open up the inner components.

    • Detach (4) pin connectors inside using a metal spudger to separate the front panel from the rest of the device.

    Edit

    is the battery permanent or can be replaced?

The headphone jack opened up on one side so the speaker stopped working. Did not replace defective jack, just shorted together the offending jack pins. Works!

Thanks for showing how to open up this radio!

Excellent guide for removing the front panel. I might not have figured that out without damaging something.

The network connection keeps re-initializing and I was hoping to find maybe a loose wire or something. but alas, I found nothing suspicious and it’s still broke. The IRC6000R isn’t made anymore or serviceable so I guess it’s broke for life. Guess I’ll have to replace it, not sure about Grade Digital anymore.

BTW… My Ifixit screwdriver wouldn’t work with this as I needed a Phillips with a long skinny shaft.

did you find any fuses or motherboard resistors that looked swollen? Mine won’t light up at all

not the plug as I used it to start my other Mondo and the power supply is fine
