Step 4 Motherboard
• Use the plastic opening tool to gently disengage the ribbon cable from its back housing.
• Once the ribbon cable is disengaged gently pull the cable off the motherboard.
• Once the housing is disengaged, the ribbon cable should slide out easy. Do not pull too hard on the ribbon cable as it is very fragile.
