How To Fix The Panel Under The Screen on PB 500 Series
Posted by: Paralel on 2013-08-28 17:42:12
Damn that plastic is brittle. I used a reasonable amount of pressure on the little panel under the PB 520's screen to get at the screws and nearly all the little tabs that hold it in place sheered off. What's the best way to get it to stay in place now that the tabs are missing? I figured I'd ask before sticking some blue tack in there to hold it and end up regretting it.

I know the part you mean - I'd reglue the little tabs back on with JB Weld, otherwise carefully place some double-sided tape on the inside of the little half cylinder and adhere it back on that way. Blue tac no go 😀

I superglued mine back on, but, IIRC, that means opening the darn thing again is a pain.
