    • Using tweezers, remove the ribbon strip by pulling on it. This will remove the connection.

    • Push down on the three wires with the metal spudger and the clip will disconnect from the motherboard.

    • The clip must be pulled up and away from the motherboard. Attempting to slide it out will damage the clip.

    • During reassembly, remove the black tape on the ribbon cable, turn the camera upside down so you can see the port, and reinsert the cable with tweezers. It's a lot easier!
