EXOGAL Comet Disassembly and Reassembly Manual
The Comet is designed to be easily serviceable by dealers and distributors. We purposely designed it with
modules that can be easily exchanged because component-level servicing of a highly-integrated digital
processing device is fundamentally impractical!

Remove the six (6) Flat Head Hex Screws from the bottom of the unit using a 1/16th inch hex driver:
Next, remove the four screws from the corners of the back panel and the one screw from the center of the
back panel:
Note: The center screw is a different size, 5/64
th
inch, and type than the four edge screws, 1/16th inch! Keep
them separate.
