This is not for the faint of heart I would not recommend doing this. Over 2 hours taking it apart another 2 putting it back. No real directions as to putting it back togeather. The Basel needs to be put on the top first for it has the most clips. Take a picture of it when you get it apart so you can see how to put everything back as in the cables and wires. This has got to be the worst design ever. Also for $20 replace the inverter board at the same time, so you don't have to take it apart again.
