That blue wire/cap thing is a modification that came into play after the
pack came out. The black wire is soldered to the pad with the yellow wire
at the top edge of the circuit board, just to the left of the metal strip
with three screws. Dribble some lighter fluid on the mode plate, that might
loosen the rubber cement. Then try to get a sharp exacto or single edge
razor blade under the edge of the plate to pop it up.

Subject: [OM] help with CP2 rebuild

> Hi all,
> would appreciate some help on this. Finally got round to having a look
inside my CP2 today. The mode switch has been broken for a while, and it has
never sequenced. First the good news - the battery pack looks good, and the
circuit board looks clean. After poking around for a while I found what may
be the problem - I'll do my best to describe.
> With the pack upside down, battery folded out and tripod mount to right
(ie so you can see circuit board...
> there is a blue wire going from near the tripod mount (only wire attached
at this end of board) which runs to a green capacitor? which is tucked under
the mode switch. The capacitor is marked 103 50K. from its other leg runs a
short black wire which isn't attached to anything. Is this my problem? Where
should it attach? I can't see anywhere obvious, and despite a while staring
at the schematic, I'm none the wiser.

> Problem 2 - I've also got a CP1 which I thought I might as well have a
look in at the same time. It works fine, except it won't do single mode,
just sequence. But I can't get the plate off the mode switch. Is B+Q
ducktape not strong enough? Do I need to bathe the thing in solvent, rather
than apply a few drops. What's the absolute best solvent to be using?
