They are out of date and some links will be broken.  Additional info on the PrintrBoard (that's what your board is) can be found here http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Printrboard# … Windows.29
I won't suggest flashing that particular board is fun or easy.  But it can be done if you take your time to research alternate methods following links from the sites I linked above.  Good luck.

The ones on the right side of the last picture right? Also, could you explain flash firmware? I have not heard that term before and am also not familiar with programming. I am always a fan of figuring something out though smile

I believe that it is standard, but here are some pics. I just meant that according to other threads, the newer solidoodles come with a board that solidoodle made.

These are the best pictures that I could get without disconnecting all the wires and possibly messing something up. Thank you for helping me smile

I have a Solidoodle 4 that has the custom controller board. I am trying to figure out how I can wire a part cooling fan to the board so that I can control it from Repetier Host. Does this board have the built in ability to do that? Where on the board can I connect the fan?
