- You will need to completely disassemble the machine, removing the motherboard
- from its metal shell.
- Connect your 5252/5250 (make sure to get it the right way round).
- Then connect the 3.3v PSU wire (red one) and make sure that everything else is connected.
+ Remove all screws, marking each hole so that you know
