Skip this step if the screen display connector is already detached from the motherboard. Using a spudger, insert the pointed end between the plastic end of the wire and the motherboard socket, then carefully lift or push the wire to disconnect it. You should see two golden pins protruding from the plastic connector.
To reconnect, align the two golden pins with their corresponding socket on the motherboard and gently press down until you hear a click indicating a secure connection.
To reassemble your device, follow the Side Keys Installation guide in reverse order.
