TS-3 Slate back clip for notes plate came off

[deep owl]

Email sent to Denecke but I figured I'd throw it out here and see if anyone has an answer (I wasn't able to find any postings via search or google).

I have a TS-3 and the clip for the notes plate came off the other day. I was able to fish out the spring and nut so the whole piece is together. I was wondering if it's easy enough for me to open up and pop back on myself or if it's necessary to bring it in.

Thanks!

Shouldn't that clip be facing down? That's the way I remember it. Mine has fallen off a couple of times due to inept and bungling AC's, but I've never had a problem getting it back on. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Yes it should. In the pic, the clip is detached and just sitting atop the brain case next to the hole it should be screwed into.

Only way I can see to re-attach it would be to unscrew the case from the slate and put it back on. Is that the way you've re-attached yours in the past? Mine fell off due to inept and bungling ME I guess. Didn't even notice it was getting loose or I'd have tightened it down good!

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

The log plate clip is easy to reinstall. Simply remove the 6 screws holding the back cover onto the back plate to get access to the inside. If you have some Lock Tight, I would suggest adding a drop to the clip screw.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, we will be happy to reinstall it for you at no charge.

I hope this helps!

... Blue Locktite, that is... NOT red one... ;-)

Thanks Charlie! I'll give it a go today. I've probably got some Lock Tight around here...I'll make sure it's blue!

That was a pretty simple fix. It is advisable to have some tweezers or needle-nose pliers on hand to get the spring on and hold the little nut in place between the LEDs whilst screwing the bolt into it.
