If you experience issues with your onboard SD card, and are instructed by Darkly Labs or an authorised reseller to replace it, please follow the following steps:
Step 1: (optional if you have v2 air-assist)
If your machine has the new v2 air-assist accessory, you will need to detach this before you can access all the screws for the electronics pod.
