Use a plastic opening tool to release, but NOT remove, the back cover because it is sealed with adhesive.

Slowly lift the cover so that you can disconnect the red and white wires connecting the speaker to the sound card.

Remove 2 long screws indicated with red circles

Remove the remaining screws indicated in blue
I had two more screws to remove in addition to those shown with the blue circles. One in the lower right corner so that you can remove the 14-pin connector that has a metal guard barely wrapped around the edge of the motherboard, the other is on a rectangular copper pad (and has a black arrow by the screwhead) above one of the blue circles near the lower left corner of the large module below the expansion connector.

-
On the back of the unit, unscrew the three screws surrounding the serial port.

Lift the motherboard as shown, pull towards you and then up.
Between the power connector and the back USB port, there's a post through the motherboard just below the #1 Philips screw you removed previously. The motherboard needs to be lifted off that post to get it out.

Detach the white ribbon cable, the white cluster connector, and the ribbon cable right next to the cluster
I also had a 2-pin black connector/cable going to the daughterboard that needed to be removed.
