Step 2) Removing the 8P voice board. With the top still closed remove the two small back screws either side of the midi connectors on the rear of the JX-8P. Now
open the top. It is a good idea to mark the voice board cables with a felt pen so that you get them back into the correct sockets. Make special note of plug
CN3 which is a 10 pin plug in a 12 pin socket. Mark this so that you can put it back exactly as it is. Carefully unplug all the cables from the board (8 in total
marked with purple and orange arrows). The plugs marked with orange arrows will not plug back into the voice board but will instead plug into the Kiwi8P
cpu board. Remove the 9 screws holding the board into the 8P (Yellow arrows in the picture). Mark which way around the gray ribbon cable leading to the
cartridge socket is and then unplug this cable. This is done by pulling it straight out of the socket it is in. The voice board can now be removed from the JX-
8P.
