Slice and Dice
The steps in this guide should be split up and made into a series of prerequisite guides.
Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide to replace the motherboard.
Note: You'll need JIS screwdrivers for this repair. Regular Phillips screwdrivers have a cross pattern with rounded inner edges and won't fully fit the slots in the JIS screws. JIS screwdrivers instead have a straight cross pattern which makes much better contact with the screw head and is made for the high torque you will need to loosen the screws.

Hi thank you.
perfekt. Thank you! Had to replace the board because the GPS port was brocken.
Hi, thanks for the detailed instructions! I just replaced my main board and the new one did not boot. The battery is charged, but the LCD shows nothing when battery is in and when the power is on. Is that a problem with the replacement main board or does it need to be programmed? I expected it to power up once the power is available.
Have you resolved your issue?
Any luck of fixing it?
