Use a round file (about 3mm diameter) and make some round cut's on the board corners so the yampp-7 board fit exactly
into the Teko box. Take it slowly, a small bit at the time until you have a perfect match. The photo (and the third one below) show how deep you approximately need to cut. |

The mounting standoffs in the box which is normally used for mounting PCB's is in the way for the connectors, and we
need two extra to stabilize the player PCB. So cut or break off both standoffs on one of the box halves. Try to keep them the original length, which is 7mm's. |
|
Use some superglue or similar to glue to standoffs to the yampp-7 PCB. The arrows in the picture show the positions where they
should be attached. Put the board with the CF connector facing up in the box half that still have the standoffs. The PCB should now fit exactly and be standing on the four standoffs. You may need to cut down 1mm or so for the headphone connector. Use a round file for that. At this point you may need to make the cutoffs a little lower, depending on the thickness of your battery cell. The heigth of the stand-off's should be (13-battery_thickness) mm's. So if you have a Motorola V3688 cell, which is 6 mm thick, you don't need to modify the standoffs. With a 8 mm Nokia cell, you need to cut down the standoffs to 5 mm. |
|
Now use the round file to cut out holes or slots for the keys and the headphone connector. Also, make the cutout for the USB plug. To make it easier, you can position the top half in it's intended position and mark the switch positions with a pen or a small cut. Again, take it easy and make only small modifications at a time, to make it fit perfectly. Remember the rule "Measure twice - cut once !" When the box lid fits and all buttons can move freely, you can make the flat cutout for the CF card. Use a sharp Exacto knife or similar to do this. |
|
The PCB should now be a snug fit into the box, and you should be able to insert and remove the CF card without any problems. Now add the battery cell and check that the box closes completely and that the cell doesn't move around. You may need to cut a bit more off the standoffs or add a small piece of foam rubber to fix this. |

Hopefully, your player now looks like this. Plug in the headphones and a CF card and start rocking ! |
