Load the backup config:

When replacing, the primary backup files can be used for the backup card.  However, do not use that config for another display.  This will cause: NovaStar: Display looks checkered or garbled after hardware changes

Be noticed: It's recommended to use the same version of NOVA LCT in the process, the version that was used to make original configure file. Usually name of the original configure file will tell the version of NOVA LCT it used.
