I am trying to figure out what resistors I need to replace/remove on my 530t but I am having a hard time matching it to any of the diagrams on the modification instructions (https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=709). My date code is OKF, if it helps, on the 530t plastic case it has a date of 9/02 on it and I had bought it 2 years ago from an ebay dealer.

Somewhere on your camera there is a picture of a flower. This switches your camera to Macro mode. It is used to take extreme close up pictures. Set your camera to that setting, I need you to take a picture of the top left section of the circuit board. Try putting the camera a little closer than you had it for the last picture. Take a few and post the clearest one. I am pretty sure you have to do the mod on the bottom of the page. The board needs to be rotated 90 degrees counter colckwise. I will rotate it and highlight the parts you need to change.

Thanks for your help. After reading where you want me to take a pic of, I was able to map my board to the Diagram D on the instructions. Now all I got to do is figure out how to remove the two tiny resistors without messing up the other ones. :)

Thanks again for your help.

You will need to get a decent soldering iron with a small tip. Heat the iron up and add solder to both sides of the resistor you need to remove. The reason for adding the solder is to have more mass there to retain the heat and keep the solder melted longer. After adding the solder, heat up one side of the resistor, quickly move to the other end of the resistor heating it up. Switch back to the other side, the resistor should at this point be able to move by now. Gently move the resistor with the iron, once it is off of the spot gently pick the iron off of the board, the resistor should stay attached to the iron.
