Removing the Inverter Board
1. Follow the sequence of steps 1 to 9 as illustrated in “Removing the System Memory” on page 2 - 14 in order to
remove the back case etc.
2. Remove screws "
1"-"5" from the inverter board shielding plate, and lift out the shielding plate "6".
3. Disconnect the two connectors "
7" and "8" from the inverter board, then elevate the inverter board slightly and pull
it in the direction of the arrow (
Figure 2 - 14c) to release it from the connector "9" on the mainboard.
4. Lift the inverter board "
10" up and out from the mainboard.
