- Access the Board: Carefully open the printer's access panels or remove covers as required to expose the existing formatter board. Refer to your printer's service manual for exact instructions.
- Remove Old Board: Disconnect all ribbon cables, connectors, and screws securing the old formatter board. Note the orientation and connection points of each cable for correct reinstallation.
- Install New Board: Gently place the YOTON replacement board into position, ensuring it aligns correctly with mounting posts and screw holes. Secure it with the previously removed screws.

If you encounter issues after installing the YOTON CE684-60001 / CE684-67901 Printer Board, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer does not power on. | Loose power connection, faulty power supply, incorrectly installed board. | Verify power cable connection. Check power outlet. Re-check all board connections. |
| Printer displays error codes or messages. | Incorrect board installation, incompatible firmware, other printer component failure. | Consult your HP printer's service manual for specific error code meanings. Ensure all cables are securely connected. |
| Printer not recognized by computer. | Loose USB/Ethernet cable, driver issues, network configuration problems. | Check data cable connections. Reinstall printer drivers. Verify network settings if applicable. |
