[DG] [DG11] E80 Classic Card Reader Replacement

[hadjiosif]

The card reader pins are bend so I found another card reader on ebay and I plan to replace it. My questions are: Can the card reader be replaced from the front by removing all down to metal plate and screen and unplugging it...or does the display have to be totally removed from it's case and the cables also removed?
This E80 is installed below on the panel and is networked by ethernet to another one above, however i was not able to update the software from the cockpit E80 because it won't retrieve it's IP address so I'm left with two versions of software. Otherwise, the two are communicating fine. Please advise.
Thanks, hadjiosif

Hi hadjiosif
Thankyou for your enquiry.

The card reader needs to be removed from the unit by completely stripping it down, there is no easy way I am afraid.
