Marantz is a manufacturer of popular stereo receivers and other stereo equipment. One popular Marantz product is the CC 3000 5-disc CD changer and player. Over time the power switch on your Marantz CD player can wear down, or the small spring mechanism can break. When this occurs, it will have to be removed and then replaced with a new one. It will take you about 30 minutes to remove your Marantz power switch.
Instructions
1. Unplug your Marantz from the electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect all wires or connections attached to the back panel of your Marantz.
3. Use a screwdriver to take off the screws that hold the case in place on your Marantz. They are located on the back panel and you will need a Phillips screwdriver to take them off.
4. Lift the back panel off your Marantz and locate the power switch in the front.
5. Plug your de-soldering tool in and let it warm up.
6. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the small spring on the power switch assembly.
7. De-solder the connections holding the power switch in place on the circuit board. Squeeze in the rubber ball on your de-soldering tool, press the end of it against each connection and then release the ball to suck off the melted solder.
8. Lift the power switch mechanism out once it has been de-soldered.
