Preparation and tools needed – (Turn off the processor and audio system, 2mm Allen head screw driver of Allen Key, laptop

Step 2-
Lift the original illuminated display
panel from the PS8 and unplug the connecting
cable from the main circuit board by grabbing
ahold of the cable and plug at the port on the
main circuit board. (It is best to rock the plug

removal) (See Figure 2)
Step 3-

Step 4
- First note that there is two different size plugs and two cables on the BTM replace-
ment display. Find and locate the smaller of the two plugs and plug it into the matching port on
the main circuit board (please note that the plug has guide bars on the side and this will allow it
to only go into the port in one direction. Please do not try to force it in). (See Figure 3)
Step 5-
Then grab the other cable off of the BTM Display. This should be the larger of the two plugs.
Place and install this plug into the larger port on the main circuit board for the PS8 (please note that
the plug has guide bars on the side and this will allow it to only go into the port in one direction. Please
do not try to force it in).(See Figure 3)
Step 6
- Carefully press and wrap the BTM cables into the
PS8 main housing and align the display with the mounting
holes. Be sure to double check that you are not pinching
either of the cables. Now with the display flat on the
casing reinstall the four 2mm Allen head screws (be
careful to not overtighten as this can crack and break the
display panel)(See Figure 4)
