      • Insert the flat end of a spudger between the SD board and the motherboard.

      • Pry up slowly to loosen the SD board from the RF shield underneath it. If you pry too quickly, you may tear the shield or break its solder points.

      • Run the spudger along the sides of the SD board to free it from the adhesive holding it in place.

      • Once completely freed, lift the SD board straight off the motherboard.
