How to Replace the Front Frame on a Classic MG-1

Replacing the front frame on a Classic MG-1 is a simple process. Disconnect the bottom cable, open the front panel like a door, unplug the panel's five cables (HD audio, USB-C, RGB button, power button, and USB), then remove the old frame and install the new one.

What You'll Need

• Replacement MG-1 front frame

1. Remove the Bottom Cable

Disconnect the cable at the bottom of the front panel first. This gives you more room to work with the panel.

Attach the new front frame, then reconnect all five cables in the same positions as the originals.
