Two more modifications for my Super SD System 3 v2, to bring it onto the same level as the new revision B.

First things first, there was also a new firmware released that fixes the reversed audio channels: 1.02 R05

These modifications are much more invasive than the fixes I did last year and will definitely void the warranty. There are quite a few components to remove:
Yellow circles – FBX stereo bypass amp mod board (by FirebrandX)
Blue rectangles – FU-RGB video driver (by Voultar)

The components can be removed quickly and easily with the right tools. I don’t like to have tiny resistors flying all over the place, so I use the hot air station for the larger, multi-legged components (i.e. ICs) only. For all the two-legged components (i.e. resistors and capacitors) I use desoldering tweezers. A stereo microscope helps greatly.

FBX stereo bypass amp mod board

I started with the audio modification because the distorted sound in FX Unit Yuki annoyed me a lot. The instructions can be found here.

FU-RGB video driver

After all audio tests were successful, I continued with the video modification. The instructions can be found here. I never had any problems with the RGB output at all, so this is only for raising the board revision.

A visible reminder of the voided warranty is the serial number on a thermopaper sticker. It turned black after using the hot air gun to the op-amp IC U15.

The modifications can also be seen through the translucent case.
