Introduction

Safety prereq for choosing whether to discharge the capacitor.

The flash's capacitor is now exposed and can deliver a potentially dangerous electric shock if you touch the main board incorrectly.
To minimize the risk, make sure to either discharge the capacitor properly before continuing, or wear rubber gloves for added protection.
If you don't use rubber gloves, don't touch exposed parts of the main board to avoid getting shocked.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
