HD Video Board upgrade instructions for SPA22 & SP32
Last updated 2014-01-08
This installation guide will help you to upgrade your SPA22 or SP32 from the "Standard Video Board"
to the "HD Video Board" (written as HDVB in this installation guide)
Note! This requires that you already have the "HD Audio Board" installed in your SPA22/SP32!
If this board is not installed, please first do this. Go to step 4. Installing HD Audio Board on page 9.
1. Dissemble and assemble the video boards
1.1 Make sure the unit is turned OFF and no AC chord is connected to the unit!
1.2 Start with unscrewing the ten torx-screws and then remove the top cover
1.3 Disconnect FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) number 1 from the end which is connected to the video
board (left side in the picture below) and keep it connected to the audio board
1.4 Disconnect FFC number 2 on both ends. This one is not needed anymore
