Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the right side of the I/O board data cable connector up off its socket on the I/O board.
When prying the I/O board data cable connector from its socket, make sure to pry the connector itself and not the socket. Prying the socket may cause irreversible damage to the I/O board.

Step 2

Wedge the flat end of a spudger beneath the left side of the I/O board data cable connector.
Gently twist the spudger to disconnect the I/O board data cable connector from its socket on the logic board.
