Generally, we only plug in the button board when it is needed. Leaving it unplugged probably makes it less likely the screen will get "turned off" accidentally.

I am not sure which side you plug it in on. I thought there was only one surplus position, and maybe you plugged it in on the side towards pin 1. Best to get clarification from Centroid on that, though.

Here's the OEM LCD screen and frame. Hard to see in the photo but the Button Board ribbon cable is not connected.
Is there any reason to install the new Button Board since you say usually not plugged in.
If not required can I also remove the ribbon cable?

The buttons are just to adjust the screen. If you're not having a problem with the screen position, color, size brightness, etc. There's no need to connect that

Finished the install. Motherboard CPU Cooling fins prevented mounting LCD Control board on top of frame. Power supply prevented mounting the board on right side of frame. Mounted on bottom of frame, have about 1/16" clearance between motherboard and VGA cable plug.
Appreciate the assistance.
