Disassemble and Prep
Preparation:
1. Unplug the console and turn it’s power to on, this will de-energize the caps and make it safer to work on.
2. Remove 6 philips screws holding console shell together.
3. Set top shell half aside.
4. Remove all screws holding RF shielding in place, usually 7 but early consoles have 8.
5. RF shield can be set aside.
6. Remove the 2 screws holding down the RF module.
7. Remove 6 screws holding cart tray and connector in place.
8. Take note of the longer screws and location, most of the time they are a silver color, but they are the same color as the rest on early consoles.
9. Remove tray and set aside.
10. Remove cart connector (ZIF) and set aside or discard if replacing with new one.
11. Raise motherboard and remove the 2 controller and 1 power/reset wire connectors.
12. Set motherboard aside.
13. Bottom RF sheilding cannot be reused with the Hi-Def NES kit so discard it or put in storage.
This is a good time to clean all the parts of the console.
