All of which were solved by either<br />a) Removing screws on the rear-side of the front PCB<br />b) Removing the thin sticky plastic on the inside of the front faceplate (yes, this made a huge difference surprisingly!)<br />c) Removing the black rubber on the brown ribbon.</p>]]></description>

They solder to either side of the capacitor. The tutorial you followed is old and out-dated!</p><p>Let me know if you need help. Unless you&#039;ve already succeeded / given up ;P</p>]]></description>
