g) Disengage the Video PCB from its rear connector (CP601) by pushing back on the rear PCB; lift the
Video PCB up and out of the unit. It should still have an amber-colored 8 pin connector attached. Set the
PCB aside and out of the way.

screw will loosen a small aluminum heatsink (for IC100); remove it.
i) Disengage the DSP PCB from its rear connector (CP401) by pushing back on the rear PCB; lift the DSP
PCB up and out of the unit; turn it upside down. It should still have an amber-colored 15 pin connector

k) Replace parts in reverse order; remember to re-tighten the bottom bracket screws and replace the
heatsink. CAUTION: At the rear screws, if using a power tool, use care and minimum effort to avoid
damaging the various plastic receptacles.
