Work Completed on Main Board & Components:

• All battery connectors washed in white vinegar. Positive connector desoldered from the board and washed in vinegar over night to remove battery corrosion.
• Scrubbed all components with 90% alcohol.

What’s left to do?

1. Replace power LED with purple (LED ordered)
2. Swap stock power board for CleanPower DMG (v2.0) DC-Regulator Board. (ordered)
   • Hoping this will help with the speaker whine I’m experiencing. More on that below.
   • Here is some information that a power mod might not help: https://discord.com/channels/246604458744610816/332487777986019337/1019460484992356353
3. Replace screen with white glass 2.6” screen. (ordered)
   • Originally ordered the wrong size screen. The 2.45” screen is almost usable but it still covers too many pixels on the edge.
4. Replace capacitors with factory new caps (TBD)
