2. Flip the Famicom over and set it down.
3. Lift off the upper case.

4. Remove the mechanism by lifting the axle slightly to the right and drawing it out.

6. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the power switch.
7. The power switch is connected to the main board via a little plastic connection; grip the motherboard connector and pull it straight out of its port.

9. Carefully pull the ribbon cable that is attached to the controller board and the main board.
10. Remove the controller port.

11. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the six 15.6 mm screws that secure the silver protective shield.

13. Lift the cartridge slot up and out of the device.

14. If the contacts are rusted or corroded, use a cotton swab damp with high-concentration isopropyl alcohol to remove the rust.

15. Replace the cartridge slot.
