   * Remove the head unit by prying gently along the bottom edge between the seal and head unit plastic (page 34 Fig. 2.1 - {{:radios:mm8100-02-00-812_tm8100_mobile_radio_service_manual.pdf | TM8100 service manual}})   * Remove the head unit by prying gently along the bottom edge between the seal and head unit plastic (page 34 Fig. 2.1 - {{:radios:mm8100-02-00-812_tm8100_mobile_radio_service_manual.pdf | TM8100 service manual}})
  
-  * Remove the 3 screws from the PCB (page 38 Fig. 2.4 part 7 - {{:radios:mm8100-02-00-812_tm8100_mobile_radio_service_manual.pdf | TM8100 service manual}}), pull off the volume knob (this will separate easily with a firm pull, and will leave a metal retention spacer either on the spoke or in the knob. Don't lose this!) and release the three clips on the PCB retainer in the head unit (page 134 Fig. 6.4 - {{:radios:mm8100-02-00-812_tm8100_mobile_radio_service_manual.pdf | TM8100 service manual}}), removing the PCB and speaker from the assembly. Take care to not disturb the exposed LCD as this will mis-aslign the zebra contact strips.+  * Pull off the volume knob (this will separate easily with a firm pull, and will leave a metal retention spacer either on the spoke or in the knob.

   * Remove the button membrane which may contain lots of dirt buildup. Remove the 4 plastic light pipes from the membrane, wipe them clean and set them safely aside. They are keyed in two directions, both which side of the membrane they sit on (square vs round) and orientation (teardrop shape) so you cannot re-insert them wrong without it fighting you.   * Remove the button membrane which may contain lots of dirt buildup.

   * Use warm, soapy water and a disposable cloth and toothbrush to gently clean the button membrane. Take care to not rub off the symbols, and do not scrub the black pads on the back as these are conductive contacts. This is safe to submerge. Rinse and ensure dried (don't use the hairdryer here, but pat and shake dry and leave to the side for a while). Make sure you did not miss any water in the light pipe holes or between the buttons. You can replace the light pipes once dry.   * Use warm, soapy water and a disposable cloth and toothbrush to gently clean the button membrane.

-  * Re-insert the membrane, click back in the PCB (make sure the speaker alignment slot is correctly positioned) and make sure you put the screws back in. Failure to do so will result in the LCD being non or partially operational, as it relies on the pressure provided by the screws.+  * Re-insert the membrane, click back in the PCB (make sure the speaker alignment slot is correctly positioned).
