Introduction

Use this guide to replace the Raspberry Pi in your Kano Computer Kit.

The Raspberry Pi is the brain of your Kano Computer, which is crucial for its operation.

If you notice frequent crashes or freezes, overheating despite proper ventilation, inconsistent power such as the device not powering on, unexpected shutdowns, or issues with the keyboard or mouse, these could be signs that your Raspberry Pi is failing and needs replacement.

Replacing the Raspberry Pi can resolve these issues and restore your Kano Computer to normal functionality.

Before starting the repair process, ensure your Kano Computer is powered off and disconnected from any external power source.
