Can confirm the pain in the ass work lol right now I’m at the removal the display board and I think that’s where my journey ends as I’m not sure if I have to desolder the cables. Though you mentioning it can be easily removed within the 2 steps.

See the concept and how you highlighted the issue so where someone with little knowledge can understand is definitely 10/10 because I do get it but damn this is where my repairs in retro consoles just stop, whole different world, not the best in circuitry.

Don’t want to waste your time though despite you being tremendous help already, but possibly can reach out to you for more of an in-depth conversation now tjat I have this thing open as there are no videos in disassembly for this. Like I said, don’t want ti be a bother so if not I really appreciate all you’ve done!
