Title: A1200NG Boost Kit install guide
Post by: J-Golden on February 18, 2026, 04:30:27 AM

Just as the subject says.  I ordered it and it came in, but there are no instructions on how to install it.  I put the heat sync in in a way that I think is correct, but it pushes up against the three-pin header next to the Wi-Fi antenna and keeps that corner from seating all the way.

The way I installed it is:

Nut
washer
board
washer
heat sync
screw head

Any help would be much appreciated.  Pictures of it assembled doubly so.

Thanks all!

Exactly as you said but in reverse (sort of).

Screw, washer, board, heatsink pads, washer, heatsink, nut.

Thanks!  I have it in just as you say.

<HOPEFULLY> Last question.  What is the point of the thin metal plate?  does that go anywhere?
