Use tweezers to pinch the blue tabs and gently pull out the two ribbon cables connected to the right of the optical disk drive.

To reconnect the cable, hold it as close to the end as possible and insert it back into the connector. Apply force to the plastic reinforcement rather than the cable itself.

Try not to kink or crease the cable.

Use a spudger or tweezers and gently push up on alternating sides of the black locking tab connector connected to the widest ribbon cable before attempting to pull out the cable.

Don't push the tab too hard or too far, otherwise it may come completely off the connector.

The ribbon cables are delicate and can be damaged if gripped directly.

During reassembly, insert the cable into its socket and use the flat end of a spudger to push the tab down into its locked position.
