PIC update: First, unplug the power supply. You should avoid static electricity when handling the board.
Try touching some metal that is grounded before handling the internal circuit board.
1) Pull off the 8 knobs
2) Remove the 6 black screws and remove the bottom cover.
3) Remove the 6 screws holding the circuit board, and remove the board.

facing up, and the little dimple for pin 1 is next to the U7 designator on the board.
5) With a flat-blade screwdriver, carefully pry out the old processor from its socket alternate from one
side to the other.

Nice vid! Always wanted to see inside but didn't want to void my warranty yet - There isn't much to it on the inside though - I guess the days of synths full and bursting with components are over.
