HP97 The journey begins

[teenix]

It seems a few of these little fellows were causing the problem and an 0805 resistor which just by coincidence happened to be sitting in the same space as one of those tiny plastic protrusions. The Bluetooth will have to be repositioned as well, which will cause a headache or two.

I also just noticed that the HP head ribbon connector is slightly taller than the new one and has a different shape. This is an issue because the original HP one mates with a plastic molding on the printer and helps to keep the battery board in place when splitting the case halves. I think I have a solution, but it is hard to take measurements in the space around this area.
