Alex:
When the K1 backlight instructions were written (by me), it was
assumed that many of the backlights would be installed in
already-built K1s. So the builder was just instructed to unplug the
MCU... it should NOT have been soldered in, so the only added effort
you should have to expend is to pull the IC and replace it later.
Sorry for any added inconvenience this may have caused you.

Greetings,
I have just started to build my K1-4 for which I have also bought the
LCD backlight mod. After mounting the MCU into its socket on the front
panel board (step 5 on page 21) I have to continue with the
instructions of the backlight mod. Here, the first step is to remove
the MCU from the socket. I'm puzzled... Is it really neccessary to
remove the MCU right after it has been mounted? If so, wouldn't it
have been better to jump to the backlight instructions before mounting
the MCU in the first place?
I guess I'm just too tired and lazy at 23:45 and I will do exactly as
the instructions say when I continue tomorrow, but if anybody could
explain why this is neccessary...
Thanks
