Removal of the inhibiting bits
We took off TJ's plastic backpack to get at the board. The backpack is secured with four size 2.3 triangle security screws. Once the backpack lifts off, the board is exposed.
Mapping the connections on the board
The board is screwed in with two Philips head screws and tips out along the bottom edge. We disconnected and cut the wires leading to TJ's various parts. Below is a photo of the board with its original wires, most of which are clearly labeled.
The wires are listed by pin number in the table below.
