It can be difficult to see the delicate pins when installing the DX7mega128 board. By moving the

Remove the 4 large external screws from the underside of the keyboard
along the front
edge. The photo below shows the inside front edge of the empty case bottom and illustrates the
location of the 4 screws. You will, of course, be unscrewing from the DX7 underside.
Loosen the 3 internal screws at the extreme right and left ends that hold the keybed in
place
