Introduction
If you need to replace the motherboard, use this guide to access and remove it. If the Cricut's cutter or any other part begins to malfunction, the motherboard may be the cause. Use the Front Door Replacement Guide as a prerequisite to access the internal parts of the Cricut.
For this repair, you will need Phillips #1 and #2 screwdrivers and a prying tool, ideally plastic in order to not damage the machine. No steps are particularly difficult, but the handling of the motherboard and surrounding parts require delicate care.
