AuKing M8-F Motherboard Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace your motherboard for your Auking M8-F projector.

The motherboard is responsible for all the components of your projector to communicate with each other. A faulty motherboard can affect the projector's overall performance, causing the whole projector to not work to the best of its capability. In some cases, an old or damaged motherboard can cause the projector to not function properly.

If you are experiencing issues with the function of the projector, please take a look at the troubleshooting page to see if the problem can come from other causes. If none of these solutions seems to be enough, then the motherboard may be the issue.

Before continuing this guide, be sure to turn off your projector completely.
