If the 3D printer is not responding when connected to a computer or has issues powering up, this may be the cause of faulty ports on the motherboard. The ports are used to carry power and data to the printer. Occasionally a port can be damaged by forced and improper plugging in of cables; this guide will assist you in opening the unit to reveal the control motherboard and instruct you in replacing both ports.

Between the 2nd & 3rd images in step 1, the print head has vanished without explanation.
How do we remove the print head so we can remove the top half of the case to be able to proceed to step 2?
That’s the only piece if data missing.
Otherwise, it seems to be a great article.
Thank you.
I found this document to replace the Z-Belt. It includes the steps to remove the print head.
