Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the I/O board data cable lock and rotate it toward the battery side of the computer.
Use the flat end of a spudger to slide the I/O board data cable straight out of its socket on the logic board.
Do not lift up on the I/O board data cable, as its socket is very fragile. Pull the cable parallel to the face of the logic board.
