    • Pull the cable to the left to remove it from the socket.

    • Do not pull on the ribbon cable with too much force as it can cause permanent damage to the console. When the black clip is unlocked, the ribbon cable should slide out easily.

    • Remove the motherboard from the front housing. There may be some adhesive preventing you from pulling the motherboard out, but you can still remove the board by carefully pulling from the edges.

    • When removing the board, the power button and the volume buttons can fall out as it is not directly attached to any of the plates. To prevent losing these pieces, you can simply take these pieces out and store them safely before pulling out the motherboard.

The #00 Philips bit was too small for the screws on my device, and I found that the #1 Philips bit was the correct size. Also worth mentioning that the two motherboard screws were eventually eliminated from newer devices, so some users may not find screws in those two holes.
