Introduction

When replacing the motherboard of the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 the process is more simplistic only involving the disassembly of the ribbon cables, casing, and battery terminal. Once these three parts are removed, unclipping the motherboard should happen with ease. The tools required are the plastic opener, and J00 screwdriver.
