    I'm afraid it depends on the board you have. Newer Genius (originals) have an Artillery Ruby board the same as the Genius Pro but if its an older version then we don't have a compatible board in the shop

    There are no instructions but it is not difficult. My advice would be to take a photo of the old board first and then use that as reference when putting the cables back in

    No, firmware would need to be installed before using as several different printers use the same mainboard. Firmware can be downloaded here and instructions are also available: https://artillery3d.com/pages/downloads

    It depends on the mainboard you have. Older Sidewinder X1 printers will have an MKS board in which case we don't have a replacement. Newer ones will have the Artillery Ruby board in which case you have can get the X2 board
