    • Disconnect the five ribbon cables connecting to the motherboard.

    • To disconnect the cables, use the tip of a prying tool, or your fingernail, to flip up the small locking flap. Then, you can safely pull the cable out.

    • Be sure to pry up the hinged flap, not the connector socket.

    • There is a white line on the ribbon connectors that indicates the edge of the connection area. To reinstall, insert the connector up to this white line and close the flap. If the white line is clearly visible after closing the flap, it is probably misaligned and needs to be repositioned.
