Steps

Time Required

40 minutes - 3 hours

Introduction

This is a complete tear down of the Sony ICF-CS15iP

Step 1

All of these damned screws are approx. a PH1 size.

Step 2

Pull on the back to ease it off, and there will be some wires that will need to be disconnected. (Green circled wire not necessary to remove but recommended)

Step 3

Unfasten the 4 screws holding in the board.

Step 5

Remove the following screws and be careful with the dock connector, as it has springs that can fly to oblivion.

Step 7

I chose to eat pretzels, you can have a 10 course meal prepared by Gordon Ramsay

Step 8

These are some good 4 ohm 5 watt speakers.

Step 9

My specific board has some damage from the previous owner, and I only made it worse lol.

Step 10

This is definitely all the screws that need to be unfastened.

Step 11

I used a PH1 and PH0 screwdriver.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Buen día y muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de documentar el proceso de desarmar un CS15iPN. Tengo una pregunta por favor: ¿Cómo pudo desconectar los ribbons (que se observan en la foto del paso 4) de sus conectores en la tarjeta? Yo desarmé mi equipo y no me atreví a desconectar los ribbons porque me parecía que estaban "soldados" permanentemente en los conectores.

I disconnected them by just pulling the cables out gently by the blue tab. Take your time and be careful.

Los desconecté simplemente tirando de los cables con cuidado por la pestaña azul. Tómate tu tiempo y ten cuidado.
