Re: Opening Burndept BE470?
My memory of the standard BE470 is remove the rear screw and one screw on each side of the case, loosen the battery retaining plate and wriggle the case off. Some can be tight... The controls fit into a recess in the plastic case sides so their screws don't need removing.
The original BE470 with the red button didn't have a screw in the back. After repairing numerous sets where the soldered antenna connection from the main PCB to the head had broken I realised it was over-enthusiatic screwing-up of the battery cover which was causing the issue. There was nothing to stop the board pulling down. So I wrote a paper and sent it up the HO engineering chain... Not sure if that got back to Burndept, but the extra screw in the yellow-button version made all the difference.
