The zynaptik board has some extra circuitry which doesn't have anything soldered on it. These are used for adding extra functionality to the board.

The screen is secured with these 4 screws, nuts, and nylon separators. Mount the screen by screwing the screws from the outside and fixing them with the bolts from the inside. The separators go between the screen and the case. Remember to remove the protective film from the screen before mounting it.

===Connect the Display===
===Connect the Display===
Connect the ribbon's 26-pin connector to the display's connector. '''Pay attention to the orientation'''. The red wire should be the pin 1, which as marked on the display's PCB surface. Probably you need to remove the red-jumper that is plugged in the connectors pins 1-2, indicating the right position.
