remove stylus, battery cover and springboard slug from solo
open stylus and expose phillips screwdriver
remove 4 screws from back of case - don't loose them
open case - I've found that a credit card slid into one of the upper corners and then down the length of the case works very well
carefully open the case like a sandwich - there's a ribbon cable that attaches the screen to the mb
there's a connector to release the ribbon cable - flip it up to open
remove the button board - no screws, but you may have to finagle with the battery contacts
two more screws to remove the board
lift out old mb and install new one

follow the steps in reverse to put it back together


and the board was sent on Monday. Sorry about the delay. I'm still looking for the tracking number
