Introdução

This guide will show you how to replace the internal wires in the Pyle PUKTEA22 23” Concert Ukulele.

The internal wires transfer audio signals from the tuner module to the auxiliary port. Additionally, the wires supply power from the battery to the tuner module.

If one of the wires are damaged, you will need to replace them with new ones. To avoid unnecessary wire replacement, ensure the batteries are not dead, the tuner is on, and the volume is up.

To reach the internal wires, you will need to remove the tuner module, the auxiliary port, and the batteries.

Before you begin the repair, remove the batteries to avoid damaging your ukulele or getting shocked.

Ferramentas

Passo 1

Depress the pull tab with a nylon spudger and pull the battery holder from the compartment.

Passo 2

Remove the two batteries from the holder.
The tuner requires two 3V 2032 button batteries. They are layered on top of each other in the battery holder.

Passo 3

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove four 13 mm screws from the tuner assembly.

Passo 4

Pull the tuner assembly from the side of your ukulele.
If you need help getting started, use a spudger to gently pry around the edges.

Passo 5

Unplug the black and silver, cylindrical TRS cable.

Passo 6

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the 4 mm screw from the back plate on the tuner assembly.

Passo 7

Remove the back plate.

Passo 8

Squeeze the locking tabs on the side of the white port.
Use a nylon spudger to push on alternating sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.
These two movements must be done simultaneously and may be difficult. Be gentle and have patience. Don't pull on the wires.

Passo 9

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 4 mm screws securing the auxiliary port module.

Passo 10

Pull the auxiliary module out of the ukulele.

Passo 11

Squeeze the locking tabs on the white connector to release the auxilliary port cable.
If that doesn't work, use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.

Passo 12

Push the white connector up from the socket with a spudger.
Be gentle with these delicate components.
Pull the white connector out of the socket on the auxiliary module board.

Passo 13

Pull the wires out through the hole where the tuner module once was.
The wires will not come out all the way, as some of them are still attached to the internal microphone. Be careful not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the microphone.
