The LED cable, located nearby, may be stiff and difficult to remove
while the motherboard is in its normal position. If you cannot
remove the LED cable at this time, you may remove the LED from
its holder, or remove the motherboard with the LED cable in place
in order to obtain clearance to work on the LED connector. The
speaker and LED cables will not be re-used in the Genesis MP.
