The guide is incomplete! Do not try to remove the mobo for it is soldered to some other tiny board under the on/off switch. Trying to remove the mobo after just unscrewing it, may guide to certain and permanent destruction of both PCBs!!!

any clue how to get tiny mobo out with mobo after taking screw out of tiny one at on/off switch?

jon baker -

This guide should be for beginners, Mr. Symeon Leriou, and you will not only write "Mobo", but also motherboard or Mainboard or Hauptplatine (deutsch)

But I agree with you that it is not complete.

The motherboard is soldered to the on / off board (power supply for the batteries).

Soldering again is almost impossible ...

Exactly! The guide is GOOD but it is incomplete!

The solder removal is insufficient to release de motherboard.

How to do it?
