Great instructions.

One important note: When re-installing the CCD board ribbon cable into the CCD board, the cable will go into the connector about 2mm and feel like it's seated. However, the cable must go 3mm-4mm into the connector. Otherwise, you will get a "This Card Cannot Be Used" error message each time you depress the shutter button.
