Separating and refitting the CPU and driver boards
Steps
- Remove all six screws on each board.
- Keep the CPU board in its tray while easing the driver board off the interboard pins; it flexes, so go gently.
- To refit, seat the CPU board in its tray and press the driver board on from left to right without forcing it.
- Fit at least two screws per board, then reconnect all plugs.
