Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the interface cover, which includes both the plastic cover and the rubber caps over the interface itself.

Note that the Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
