Introduction
This guide will show you how to remove the channel dial daughterboard in the Sirius S50-EX1. The bulk of the work for this guide is removing the front plate. Sirius put in some serious effort to keep it from ever coming and off and so work will have to be done to ensure it stays in place. When removing this board take care when unplugging wires so that no parts are damaged further than they might already be.
This part will be replaced rarely, but wear and tear, water damage, or other issues could eventually break this part and require repair.
