Rotate the motherboard to the right and lay it down so that the copper heatsink is facing up and parallel with the bottom of the monitor.

In this position the last cable to the motherboard can be disconnected using the spudger to push each end out until loose enough to pull the cable completely out.

The motherboard can now be completely removed from the laptop enclosure.
