  Be VERY CAREFUL when removing the big selector knob.  Mine really 
didn't want to come off so I wiggled it back and forth and kinda 
forced it... and ended up almost ripping a piece off of the mainboard 
rather than just removing the knob.  To fix it I had to re-crimp the 
connector (not sure what the proper technical term is).  I'm pretty 
certain that if I'd wiggled a bit more it would have been much 
worse.  Anyway, it was a *BAD* situation.  Luckily I got it sorted 
out and no permanent damage was done.  I also got my contrast 
properly adjusted ;)
