Karma Limbo
As you might imagine, the re-assembly of the player is the same as the disassembly, just in reverse.
There are some tricks however, which is why I have prepared a separate step-by-step guide for re-
assembly.
With practice this should only take you about 15-20 minutes, start to finish. If you want larger
versions of the images imbedded here, you can download them from the Depot page on my website.
They are the same images as in the disassembly guide, just in a different order.
STEP 1:
GET READY
Make sure you have all the pieces! (1a) Hopefully you put all the little bits into a plastic tub or
something when you disassembled the player. Prepare your work area; lay down a towel or cloth on
a level surface, get lots of light, your tools (see Recommended Tools & Supplies), and a comfy chair.
1a.
STEP 2:
INSTALL HARD DRIVE
Hold the main board in one hand, and the drive in the other (2a). Start the drive onto its connector,
holding the opposite end up to clear the volume switches (2b). Gently but firmly push the drive all
the way onto its connector, rocking it back and forth as you go (2c). Now flip the player over and
use your #0 Phillips screwdriver to put the top left screw in place (2d). Leave the two screws on the
bottom for the next step.

- Page 3 4a. Align the pins of the battery daughter board with its connector on the main board (4b), and push it into place (4c). The connector should slide in with a reasonable amount of pressure (not loose but not too hard). © Karma Limbo (aka James Thompson) February 2008 Page 3 of 7...
- Page 4 Use your #0 Phillips to install the two screws that connect the main board to the front case (5d & 5e). © Karma Limbo (aka James Thompson) February 2008 Page 4 of 7...
- Page 5 (7b). When properly popped into place, all three covers will hold themselves together without screws. Use your #0 Philips to put the side screw in anyway (7c). © Karma Limbo (aka James Thompson) February 2008 Page 5 of 7...
- Page 6 (8b), then close it up like a book and press down firmly (8c). You may have to pry up on the top case a bit if it rubs as you push the lense down. © Karma Limbo (aka James Thompson) February 2008 Page 6 of 7...
- Page 7 Turn it on and make sure it works. Use your glass cleaner to remove all the greasy fingerprints. If you use a cloth rag instead of paper towel, you can buff the side grip up to be like new. Now, enjoy your Karma! © Karma Limbo (aka James Thompson) February 2008 Page 7 of 7...
