Installation

Replacing the full shell involves carefully disassembling the console and transferring the screen, circuit boards and controls into the new housing. You’ll need precision Phillips and tri-wing screwdrivers, along with plastic opening tools, to complete the installation.

Handle ribbon cables and connectors carefully, keep screws organised, and check that all buttons move freely before final assembly. Previous experience with console repairs is strongly recommended.
