Replacing the control panel with motherboard (v2)

This article only relates to v2 machines. V2 machines were released in October 2020.  To determine if you have a v2 machine, please read this article here.

Step 1: Removal

1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws on the control panel. These screws are M4 x 12mm if you need to buy replacements.
2. Gently pull out the control panel.
3. Disconnect each plug from the motherboard by pressing the release clip and pulling on the plug (not on the wires). Leave the middle black plug connected.
4. The white wire is the antenna for the remote control (if you have one) and should just hang loose.

Your control panel should now be disconnected.

Step 2: Reinstallation

1. 1. Start by reconnecting each of the cables to their colour matched plug on the motherboard. Below is an image showing all the plugs connected to the motherboard:
      Note: If you have a Spinfire Cricket machine you will have one additional purple plug that is not shown in the image above.

1. Place the control panel back onto the body, paying close attention to the flat green ribbon cable and the wires to make sure they all go inside the body and don’t get pinched between the control panel and body.
2. Start by reinstalling the 4 screws loosely using a Phillips head screwdriver.
3. Once all 4 screws are fitted loosely, you can then tighten them fully, being careful not to over tighten them.

Here is a video showing the above process:

Your machine should now be ready to use again, so please test it to confirm it can turn on.
