1.Remove the rear cover and top cover as described in the two previous sections.

2.Remove two screws (CBS 3x10) and slightly pull out the control panel assembly.

3.Remove the FFC.

CA U When re-inserting the FFC into the control panel board connector, make sure the FFC is fully inserted but do not use too much force.

Also, the connector is difficult to see properly so it is easy to scrape or peel off the connecting strips at the end of the FFC. You need to check the strips at the end of the FFC for wear, folds, and tears every time you remove the FFC.
