Before You Proceed
Installing your IPS kit, bending the ribbon cables, soldering, or applying any adhesives in this kit will void the warranty and return policy. Fully test your kit before proceeding.
This kit requires a small modification of the top portion of the shell in order to make room for lens to fit into the top half of the shell. Cut along the section that is highlighted in red.
The first thing to do after modifying the shell is to place the screen into the top half of the shell.
Install the ribbon cable into the top port of the control board
From here fold the ribbon cable down, it can either be ran under or over the control board. It can then be looped out of the case, and the case can be screwed close.
Next, feed the flex cable through the bottom of the shell
Insert and screw down the piece that covers the hinge
Now to add your hinges back to the console
All that is left is soldering a wire from the flex cable to the point Q12B for brightness control
From this point, you can finish putting your console back together as normal!
