+ | [* icon_note] Before you can yank the upper case off, you must disconnect the trackpad connector, the blue and white power cable, and speaker cable as described in the next steps. The connectors at the ends of the following cables are attached very firmly to the sockets on the logic board. Pulling directly on the cable will either separate the cable from its connector or the socket from the logic board. Be especially careful; never pull directly on the cables, but use a spudger to pry up the connector directly. |

Use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab. Be careful to pry up only on the connector. The key is to apply force in two directions, down to keep the surface board connections intact, up to release the connector. |
[* black] After disconnecting the track pad connector, carefully rotate the upper case away from you and rest it against the display. |
