      • Locate the four metal tabs on the motherboard.

      • Using Pliers, bend each of the tabs until they align straight with the holes underneath them.

      • Bend these just enough to slip them through the holes. Over-bending could snap these tabs. While this won't affect how the TiVo functions, they are there to secure the motherboard to prevent damage.

      • Pull directly up on the motherboard so that it slips over the four golden metal tabs.
