Passo 8

With a spudger, depress the small clip on the lower right corner of the plastic guard.
Grab the edges of the plastic frame and lift the frame off the motherboard.

Passo 9

Remove the two gold Phillips #00 screws from the motherboard.

Modifica

It's easier and adds less risk of damaging the gold cable to remove the #00 motherboard screw by the d-pad between steps 12 and 13, after the motherboard has been removed from the front plate. This also makes it easier to reassemble if following the steps backwards.

Passo 10

With one hand, gently slide the top left end of the motherboard up and out of the front case.
With your other hand, pull out the EMI shield until the tab comes out of the front case.
Once the tab is pulled out from the bottom, slide the EMI shield down and out of the device.

Modifica

When putting the console back together, it is vital that you remember this step and slide the EMI shield back UNDERNEATH the outer shell of the console. It’s easy to miss, and placing the EMI shield ABOVE the outer shell of the console will result in the motherboard becoming lopsided, making the last piece of the console not slide into place.

A small ribbon cable connects the start and select buttons to the motherboard. It can rip very easily, so do not pull on it.
Lift the motherboard and the front plastic cover assembly off of the front case.
Once the front case is removed, the plastic on/off switch will fall out of place.

Without the front case, you will be left with the motherboard and the plastic mount. The LCD screen is attached to the motherboard by a ribbon and can fall off the plastic mount.

Modifica

Passo 14

Lift the entire motherboard assembly off the plastic guard.
Take caution not to damage any of the gold ribbon cables on the motherboard.
The LCD screen is the only thing connecting the motherboard and plastic guard.

Modifica

Passo 15

To remove the LCD screen, carefully angle it until it is diagonal to the square hole in the plastic guard and slide it out.
It is now possible to remove the entire motherboard assembly from the plastic guard.

Passo 16

On the plastic guard, there are two rubber pads that cover the buttons. Remove them.
These pads rest on the motherboard and sometimes stick to it. If they do, peel them off.
With the rubber pads off, you may use your fingers to remove the buttons to clean or replace them.
When returning the buttons to the guard, they have to be put back in exactly the way they were pulled out.
