Installation

The first thing to do after modifying the shell is to place the screen into the top half of the shell.

Install the ribbon cable into the top port of the control board

From here fold the ribbon cable down, it can either be ran under or over the control board. It can then be looped out of the case, and the case can be screwed close.

Next, feed the flex cable through the bottom of the shell

Insert and screw down the piece that covers the hinge

Now to add your hinges back to the console

All that is left is soldering a wire from the flex cable to the point Q12B for brightness control

From this point, you can finish putting your console back together as normal!
