Repair your Kobalt Helmet..! Why waste matter coin and purchase another? I did the work for you.

Greetings,

Here, I had a one of these helmets at my shop, my partner plant for $5
So many people out there accept helped me in the past that I had to practice the same
and share the KARMA.

Proceed at your own risk. **

You need the following:

1 propane torch or lighter (something to heat up an exacto bract.
ane exacto pocketknife handle and bract
1 apartment tip small screw commuter with rigid shaft, no flexible ane.

Remove LCD console unit of measurement from helmet. Release 4 plastic tabs to pop out unit of measurement. At that place may just be 2 tabs. Remove 1 lg greyness knob from adjuster to reveal a nut. Remove nut and then remove LCD assembly from blue hood.

Heat the exacto blade up till reddish hot then while its hot nevertheless carefully score the lines where the unit of measurement is "Glued" together. You will have to brand a few passes like this while re-heating the bract in between passes.

** simply brand ane/xvi" cuts each laissez passer. The LCD panel and Solar Panel are right along each edge top and bottom. You do not desire to break the glass! **

After a couple of passes you tin can Advisedly get-go to pry open the corners on height and lesser. the case on side has a flange inside. Utilise the edge of the plastic frame to pry confronting. Practise Not pry with anymore than only about 1/eight" of the screw driver blade inside of the case. Just become a corner started and you lot will see what I mean.

If the case is hard to pry apart later on getting a corner started just run the hot exacto over that spot with low-cal pressure. You exercise not want to cutting too deep. keep working around the outside perimeter. On one of long edges yous tin can pivot off of information technology. And so do not cutting too deep on one of the long edges like shown here. I broke a small section in 2 spots and learned to work the edge with hot exacto and repeating till information technology dissever.

Once opened y'all volition see 2 BATTERIES. These tin can be ordered online from about electronic retailers. You lot volition need to open and call back the bombardment specs Voltage, mL (milli amps) etc. Sanyo is best "re-chargeable" brand I take used.

Use cut strips of electric tape to seal the frame back together so insert back into helmet.

Hope this helps the beau welder out there who's been hit past the United states of america Economic Status.
