Use this guide to replace the old spring of the case lid in your Radica Lighted Poker device.

The spring is the central piece that reacts with the lid closing and opening to play with your portable poker. An old spring, due to stress or weather effects, may cause it to be worn out or even rust.

If the spring is in good condition and opens and closes the lid, this is not the correct guide for you.

Tools: Phillips #00 Screwdriver

Step 1

• Turn over your Lighted Poker so the back is facing upwards.

Step 2

• Remove the six silver 6 mm screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
• NOTE: Do not unscrew the centerpiece. It is for the batteries.

Step 3

• Open the device slowly without breaking or tearing the wires.
• Remove the three black 7 mm self-sealing screws using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Step 4

• Gently remove both the button and hook piece.
• Remove the damaged or old spring with a new 10 mm long and 8 mm to 3 mm radius spring.
• NOTE: Apply a small portion of grease lubricant on the button and hook piece to run smoother.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
