How do I get the top of my JB3 off?
« on: July 28, 2006, 02:14:19 PM »
Not the color face but the top of JB3 , I have had the dreaded jumpy scroll for a while and I have decided to open it up and clean it.
 I see 1 screw in the battery compartment and the front where the infared is will pry up but it seems like it is screwed down and I can not figure out how.
 This is in the FAQ but with no metion of how to take it apart

[373] My scroll-wheel sticks and jumps - how do I fix it?

Apparently, this is a fairly common problem.  It just gets a little dirty, that's all.  Here's one user's tip on how to clean the scroll wheel:

I got a can of stuff from Radio Shack ... Contact/Control Cleaner & Lubricant worked wonders. I opened up my Nomad Jukebox 3. The cleaner is under great pressure so don't spray directly. Spray in a cup first and get some q-tips. With a Q-tip addes a few drops sparingly with a few quick blasts for a dust blaster. Did that several times, turning and pushing the wheel. I didn't wait very long to dry. The can's instructions say wait five minutes. A few blasts of dust blaster (air can) and I waited about 30-60 seconds, closed up everything and it works like new.

No.  That's just the injection port mark from the injection tooling that made the part.

thanks again for the help. There is 5 total 4 under the feet and 1 in the center top of the battery compartment.
I fixed the jumpy scroll man it's nice to have it work correctly for once I think it has jumped since I bought it from creative.
 Now off to tape ALO in Reno :)
