Pepwave Max Transit Repair

Does anyone have resources on disassembling this router to replace the modem? I’ve removed all screws, but not really sure how the housing is removed.

Thanks

Hello…

You know… your warranty was gone… correct?

The TST DUO, have two LTE MODEM, one in each side of the main board.

Also… you have a small connector between all boards…
Pay close attention when disassembling and then assembling, otherwise you will lose your equipment.

Way past warranty time.

Ok thanks great picture, I just have the single cat 18 version.

Does it slide out?

I really don’t know… I just have the tst duo version. (two lte modem)
Mine have a litle slot… look the picture…
top side of the silver board… a screw.
down side of the silver board… a black slot.

just a fyi on this: if you ever have any issues disassembling anything look at the FCC id on the back and pop it in their site. they have a breakdown of all internals (pictures) that you can use to safely disassemble. In the past I’ve had issues finding things on there but not recently. Anything i search with the ID comes up.

there’s usually a screw on the non-connector side. it looks like in @MarceloBarros ’ picture it would be under the tape between the antenna connectors. Once that screw is removed the modem should pop up a bit and you’ll be able to slide it out at roughly a 30-45deg angle. Do pay attention as Marcelo said, easy to lose parts.
