Remove all wires and ribbon cables attached to the motherboard.

Some Wires have small black tabs on top of them. Meaning one must grab the tab and pull directly upward, gently.

Some ribbon cables may require the blue opening tool to release the cable's connectors before pulling it out.

Finally, some cables have a plastic head with small notches on the side. Use your hand to gently wiggle this cable side to side to remove.

The blue opening tool is recommended to avoid damaging the cables.

There should be a total of 8 wires/cables that must be removed from the motherboard.
