Delonghi portable upright air conditioner: Need advice on how to disassemble Delonghi PAC EM82K.1 portable airco

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 07:29:06 -0700

Dear community of IFixIt

Today I attempted to deep clean my Delonghi Pac Em82K.1

I removed every possible screw I could find, but nothing from the outer casing would move at all except for the top display panel (and only slightly). I looked everywhere online, but could not find a guide neither by Delonghi or by other people on how to disassemble it.

Therefore I wonder if anyone here could help me figure out how to disassemble this unit so I can properly clean it, to make sure it functions as long as possible.

I have a suspicion that it is being held in place by very annoying and stubborn plastic clips. I tried prying open the top but to no avail.

I sent an e-mail to their customer support team and they told me opening/disassembling the device will void my warranty and that due to safety reasons they will not provide me with instructions on how to disassemble it. Seems like another one of those anti-right to repair companies.

Electronic Keyboard: Yamaha PSR-A2000 unexpected error / freeze at logo after CPU swap

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 07:09:27 -0700

I replaced the CPU on my Yamaha PSR-A2000 with a processor salvaged from a PSR-3000 (both chips are marked 6417727F). The keyboard either freezes at the startup logo or displays "Unexpected error! (main) ghrxrcvmb/112". Original PSR-A2000 CPUs and replacement motherboards are unavailable. Are there any known component-level modifications, EEPROM re-flashing methods, or hardware workarounds to make this setup functional?
