This document is designed to walk you through the replacement process of the Somadome Control Board. This is what your new Somadome control board will look like.

Before you start the replacement process please make sure that the Somadome has been powered off and unplugged from its power source. If the Somadome is still powered on and plugged in, you can risk shorting out the new control board. 

• You will need to remove the lower rear panel. You will find the how to video here. It the lower rear panel removal will be found at the 1:38-1:56  minute mark. 
• Once you have the lower rear panel removed you will have access to the control board. The control board is being shown by the green  arrow. I find that it is a good idea to take a clear picture of the control board while it is all hooked up. This way you will have a reference on how to reconnect the new one, once it is installed. 

• Now you will remove the connected wire. Sometimes these can feel stuck, so please gently and slowly remove the wires. Once you have disconnected all the wires, it will be time to remove the old control board and replace it with the new one that has been sent to you!
• The control board is being held on to the Somadome by four screws. You will use a phillips head screw driver to remove these four screws. You will see where the screws are located with the red arrows, in the picture below. 
• Once you have replaced the control board with the new one, use the picture you took of it to reconnect all of the wires. Once they are connected to you, before you close up the rear panel. Please plug the Somadome back into the outlet and power the dome on. Once it has completed the start up, please select a session to ensure the control board is properly connected. A properly functioning control board will change the light and play audio according to the session that has been run. Once you have had a successful session, you can now close up the lower rear panel! Below is a picture of the control board properly connected to the wires.
