    nothing to it .. where it plugs up, there is a white plate type thing , pop it out , ( flat screw driver ) then the bored will come out .

    p.s don't go crazy, its most likely the earth . solder just the pins on the bored, then it should be fine ..

    good luck

    lol yeah i tho so , you really need something that can get under it ,( as it far in ) and pop it out ,

    just do what you have to do to get it out , it will come out, , just be careful as the board is on the bottom of one side , so you dont want to hurt the board ,,

    just put some pressure on it it will come out .

    ( I REMMEBER MY FIRST TIME , I HAD PROBLEMS TO )

    yeah give it a good look. most of the time you will not really see the dry solder , but its all good just go over it . concentrate on the 8 pin( i think ) section , where the plugs goes in to. there is an earth there that lets go all the time , but yrs do the rest as well .. when you put it back , just leave it out of the box and test it . make sure does not touch the body of the car
