| Back View 1. Notice that the top plastic piece is cracked, care should be used to avoid this happening on your model. Although there is adhesive holding the plastic sides on, the plastic snaps into place by plastic hooks (visible in 3 places on each side) |
 | Back View 2. Don't bother removing the barcode sticker from the back of the e200, as you can see there is no screws underneath. Further, you can see how Casio simply spray pained the plastic to |
 | Left Side- Although a bit out of focus, you can see 3 connecting points to the right of the SD/MMC slot. The two connecting points, to the left of the SD/MCC card, where the case snaps shut are located immediately to the left of the slot and underneath my finger. |
 | Left Side (Separated) Now separated, you can see that each of the externally accessible items (the headphone jack, the power button, the rocker switch SD Slot and power jack) are all on the bottom half of the PDA |
 | My Thumb- In this shot you can clearly see my thumb. Oh, and you can see that the LCD display is not directly connected to the top piece of plastic. Again, care should be used to make sure you don't break any of the connecting 'hooks' when separating the two pieces of plastic. |
 | More Fingers- You can better observe the top left hand corner of the PDA now that my hand is moved. Not sure why anyone would need to see this, but just in case, I included this shot. |
 | Screwed You can see where the screws in the back hold the framework of the PDA in place. Once removed, there isn't too much holding this thing together. Notice that there is also one screw visible in the shot that holds the DC inverter board (powering the LCD screen) in place. |
 | Clearer Shot- Note that this shot is mostly clear. Some of the pictures are not. I've included this to balance out the good pictures and bad pictures. |
 | The Grand Opening- By slowly releasing tension on each side I was able to remove the top entirely. As you will see, although the plastic pieces have been separated, there are wires still connecting the two pieces. |
 | But Wait! To get the front piece of plastic behind the PDA, and thus make it easier to work on the PDA, I first disconnected the hybrid connector and moved the speaker wires from coming out from below the bottom of the display to side above the power jack. |
 | Money Shot! The connector between the display and the inverter board is visible! Remember all of the BLODs (Back Light of Deaths?) this appears to be the culprit. I believe that simply replacing this board would fix the problems. The black tube in the upper left covers the microphone. |
 | Reference Shot I found out that it's very important that you reconnect the power to the display. I found that if you don't reconnect the backlight you kinda recreate the whole BLOD scenario (and yes mine worked perfectly before hand). |
 | Inverter Board You can see I have already removed the screw holding the inverter board in place. The board now sets behind the metal supports connected to the LCD screen. |
 | Chips Ahoy! With the LCD now free on the top, I was able to lift it to reveal Intel chips and what's that you say? Why yes that is an XILINX chip. The white stickers on each chip are the handy work of Casio I assume. |
 | Display Data Cable The long foil looking ribbon cable was removed from its connection with the mainboard by pushing the clasps on either side of the cable towards the bottom data connector. Similarly the touch screen data connector in the back can be removed the same. |
 | Playing cards The three boards (if you count the screen) laid out like cards reveal the two connecting ribbon cables off the bottom of the LCD display. The small 5 pin one is for the serial touch screen data I believe. |
 | Inverter Board The small connector sticking out of the top board plugs into the main board located about 1" below in the picture. You can also somewhat make out the upside-down StrongArm Intel chip |
 | Flipped By flipping the inverter board over you can see it has LEDs on it, that it's made in TAIWAN. If I can read it correctly it says "MUSE1000C INVERTER, BD 01908-1 48.30S05.011". It also looks like Casio marks it A1. |
 | Looking sharp Need to replace your screen? Check out Sharp's manufacturing site. I couldn't find the fabricator of this inverter board, but the part number for the display is: LQ035Q2DD54. |
 | Simplicity This is the most simple of all the parts. The backup battery board screwed on to the backing (part: JX-710 (ABS+PA)-GR10 I think) |
 | All Parts (Inside) This is the inside view of the case and all the parts. |
 | All Parts (Outside) This is the outside view of the case and all of the parts flipped over. |
