Completely agree Noah. I gave up and put it all back together again. Knowing how clumsy I can be, I didn't want to risk cocking it up!

Pretty sure you leave the card connected. From what I remember.

I guess it is tricky, you basically locate a clip on the right-hand-side of the board which allows the PUC chip board to push out and from there you can leave it connected and slip it back towards you to gain access.  Putting it back in is a reversal of taking it out - just feel for a plastic clip sticking up on the right-hand edge of the board.

Hi

Mine was changed yesterday! Cost me around GBP100.-. It took the B&O guy 10 minutes to change it...

Regards, Noah.
