Teardown

Introduction

I'm going to dissect an old friend, my first disc player. It is hoped that this teardown, while exposing the hydro-suspension and green-amber lighting, will reveal an awesomeness worthy of a Sony PS3 Slim (Gadget Lab Contest).

Obtain a D822-K Discman and remote. True, it has DSP and Surround Sound, but the 90's have come and gone. It's okay to take it apart.

Step 2

Position unit so that the bottom is facing up. Remove the 6 screws.
Hold top and bottom of unit together as you turn the unit over, bottom facing down. Use caution; the upper and lower case, along with circuit board are now loose.
Watch out for the AVLS and illumination switches, they love to disappear when unsupervised. Remove top of case.
