Removing the power button board

Rotate the console 180°. Lift the console's button tray by its curved edge and use a spudger under it to pry it out. It will pop off this way.
Using only your hands may damage this piece, due to the Blu-ray player partially covering it.
The button tray has a cable that is still attached to the console, so it cannot be moved very far. For now, lay the piece upside down as shown in the third image. This cable connects to a plug underneath the blu-ray player.
