How to replace the main PCB

Unscrew the four screws of the metal plate underneath the Warthog.

Carefully remove the four screws displayed on the picture.

Disconnect the two cables displayed on the picture by making sure to not damage them. A pair of flat pliers might be recommended.

Using a soldering iron, remove the previous PCB and replace it with the new one.

Once that is done, reassemble the product.
