OK you got a 2nd generation system 3 using the 9-160 board.
First instructions on pulling the 9-160 from the set as best as
I remember. If its been out before some things wont apply.

Remove red key. it is center near rear of set. Often has tape around it.
Turn & pull out.
Remove plugs from top of board 4-5 of them IIRC.
Remove white holder along rear of board.
Remove metal or plastic brace from flyback to frame.
remove little black plastic things along rear edge connectors.
Remove edge connectors.
Push down on the frame at both ends of board the little tabs &
slide board out.
You can flip the board over & reconnect to service it now.
You can NOT put anything in the wrong place without forcing it,
just be careful not to bend the contacts on connectors.
If nothing else you will find lots of cold solder joints, go
over them first. More to follow.
