In the journey of maintaining and optimizing your Hey abby grow box, there may come a time when upgrading or replacing the top motherboard becomes a necessity. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of safely and efficiently replacing this part.
Power the box off, and open the door of the box.
Remove the 6 screws holding the top panel on (screws are placed around the light).

Take a photo of the mother boards terminal connections, to remember where everything gets plugged in- then unplug all the terminal connections.
Remove the 4 screws holding the mother board in place, which will allow you to remove the board.
Now you can discard the old mother board, and replace it either the new one!
Reconnect all the terminal connections tightly, in the proper place!
