How to extract PCB from chassis of Fluke VoltAlert 1AC-A II?
This is a Fluke VoltAlert 1AC-A II. I have to extract the PCB from the chassis of the same in order to re-heat some components. The circuit moves, but it stops even 1 mm. I tried to see where the block was, but I could not see it. Is there anyone who has already extracted the circuit and knows how?
The acid output from the batteries has corroded some welds that have to be redone, but to access them I have to be able to pull the printed circuit strip out of the wrapper that contains it. I need to know where to unlock to allow the exit as it flows though for a very short ride (less than 1 mm)
Is this a good question?

FYI - Fluke is voluntarily recalling its Fluke 1AC-I VoltAlert voltage tester because the voltage indicator red light can fail to illuminate, which can mislead a user to believe there is no voltage in the circuit that is being measured

Hey did you ever have any luck getting the circuit board out of the voltalert tester? I am having the same problem that you had(same reason: corroded batteries) only able to move the pcb very minutely and don't want to force it and break something

Not yet. I still wait for suggestions from people who succeeded in this experience to extract PCB. Thanks

I have been able to extract the PCB from the chassis in the following way:
The chassis has a hole near the positive therminal for batteries.
I take a little screwdriver and insert it in the hole.
I place similar screwdriver horizontally in a perpendicular way to the tip, making sure it is stuck in the white part of the plastic.
I use a lever movment to extract the PCB, which when installed is on a one way clip.
To remove the only way is with force!
Once removed please note the one way tab will no longer work but doesn't matter it merely keeps the board in does not affect workings.
When taking apart remember to remove the rubber button and keep it safe.
When putting it back together just bend the metallic tab back to its original way.
