*safety note; before touching any internal components especially circuit boards, make sure the APM is turned off and unplugged from the wall, surge strip etc. Also ensure you are completely grounded to prevent electro-static discharge that can damage the internal circuit boards found in the Kiosk.

Step 1 - Open the Case:

 

  • Disconnect all cables from the rear of the kiosk.

  • Place the APM-3700 on a flat surface with the front of the kiosk facing you as depicted below.

Insert the provided key (The larger of the 2 sets provided) into the lock located on the top left of the Kiosk’s front bezel. Set the lock to the “on” position. | Image Added |

  •       Carefully pry the front bezel cover from the chassis, working from left to right. No tools are required for this step as the design allows for its removal with your bare hands. There are two markings (arrows) on the upper left and right corners of the bezel that show were the clips are located. Little pressure should be applied to those locations to free the bezel off the chassis

  • Completely remove the front bezel and place it somewhere safe. Now that the bezel is removed that will leave the Optical Drive & Receipt printer tray exposed.

  • *tip; if the clips that secure the bezel to the chassis will not come loose. Use a screwdriver at the location of clip 3(see image above), carefully push the clip in until it is released from the chassis.

  • With the bay occupied by the Optical Drive and Receipt printer empty, this leaves clear access to the back of the Media Card Reader from within the empty bay.

a)       The Media Card Reader is connected to via three cables, a custom USB connector, an ATX Molex Connector and a standard USB (B) Connector.  The three cables must be detached from the back of the card reader before it can be removed. Those cables are attached to other cables via zip ties, pulling the card reader out without first disconnecting the mentioned cables could damage those other components.

b)       Once the cables are unplugged, remove the 4 screws found on the sides of the card reader (2 are found on each side of the card reader). Once the 4 screws are removed it will allow the Media Card Reader to freely slide out of its chassis.


c)       Push the back of the card reader with your fingers until enough of it protrudes for you to get a firm grip on it, to pull it completely free of the chassis.

Step 2 – Remove/Replace the Card Reader and/or CD Drive:

 

  • Slide the card reader out of the front of the machine.
  • Remove the brackets from the old card reader and put them on the replacement.
    **Note: Depending on the age of your APM 2000, there may be screws in the front to remove instead of the back.

  • Slide the new card reader back into place and reconnect all screws and cables.
