STEP 2: Peel back the metal cover.

the Metal Cover
Fold it Back
At the top rear section of the camera, directly behind the wide gray cable that connects to the board at the front of the PXL, a metal cover is soldered in place over our target area. There are four points where the cover is soldered to the board. If you have desoldering yarn or something like that, groovy. It is fairly easy to just separate the cover from the board by touching the hot iron to the solder and lifting away while the solder is melted. When I did my first mod, I just cut the damn thing off and threw it away.

At the rear of the pixelvision the cover folds around and when the 4 points are cut, desoldered, whatever, it can easily be bent back to expose the board underneath.
