    Hello!
    I'm cleaning up my Model 1 Saturn, but upon getting to the Mother Board, I can't seem to remove the area near the controller ports. It seems there are two visible upside down screws, with no visible way to unscrew them. Any help?

    There's the screws, upside down next to the gold ones. (Those are unscrewed).

    Those upside down screws can be accessible by taking the motherboard out. If I am right, those other 2 screws should be taken out which are also on that bracket. I'm not too sure seeing how I have a model 2.

    Those two screws just go into the metal bracket, and there is no need to remove them to get the main board out. As long as all the other screws are removed, the board should just lift out...

    I mean, I can't get the little RF shield over the controller ports, so I can't remove the motherboard.

    Thanks. The gold screws in the controller port were a little off balance. Got it out, time to clean excess...hairs? Ew.
