My YouTube channel with little clips: vhs-decode, comparing TBC, etc.

I considered it, as I do have a soldering iron and have soldered replacement capacitors before, but I wasn't sure where to desolder to take the two boards apart. I guess it would just be a matter of identifying the appropriate solder points and heating up the solder with my soldering gun and carefully removing things. Any tips?

I could be wrong, but it looks like they're held together by 14 pins. On the board marked TOP REV:1.1 these are on the top-right above C51 (strip of 7 pins) and bottom-middle below R7 and L4 (the other 7 pins). I don't see anything else that is through-hole between both PCBs.
Getting them apart is simple. Getting them back together could be a bit harder.
With a solder-sucker and maybe solder wick, I would suggest:
- Add flux to joint.
- Heat joint.
- Add fresh solder.
- Suck/wick up as much solder as possible.
- Repeat all steps as necessary.
Just my thoughts. There are other techniques too. I'm sure there are YouTube videos out there by experts.My YouTube channel with little clips: vhs-decode, comparing TBC, etc. -
Brad, I spent a couple evenings trying to desolder the boards from each other but it proved too much for my limited soldering abilities. Since the thing doesn't work anyway, I decided to just disassemble it so you could see what the inner part looks like. Looks like the part of the board near the micro USB port was scorched, everything else looks fine.
It's a little hard to see, but note the highly vaunted Texas Instruments TVP5150 chip between the two EMPIA chips on the lower part of the board in the first picture. Hope you all can learn from my mistake

Wow! Thanks for all the effort. Much obliged!
So you had to snip other metal bits? The USB-A jack had supports attached to both boards?
Is that Kapton tape from the factory? (below EM2882)
In the 2nd photo, what caused all those deep scratches in the green solder mask revealing copper?
Shame about the scorched "micro USB" (their "proprietary" analog adapter cable input). I have replaced components on boards that looked worse than this, though.My YouTube channel with little clips: vhs-decode, comparing TBC, etc.
