              Preparing the Motherboard for Replacement

Caution: Before you remove the motherboard, be cautious of the many capacitors throughout that could cause serious injury or death. Use a discharge probe to safely rid the capacitors of dangerous charges. The following link provides an instructional video for how to properly complete this step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-AIbrbT….

Carefully flip the motherboard over and locate the nineteen capacitors.
