How do I replace the system memory chip?
The Nifty Brain is a smart piece of kit, but like all technology, it’s not 100% reliable. A quick restart usually fixes most issues, though in rare cases the memory chip may need replacing which is why you have landed here.
Nifty installs two types of hubs: a MINI and a MAX version. With your new memory chip in hand, please follow the steps below:
