This step is easy, but be gentle. First, peel back the yellow anti-static tape.

If you don’t have more and plan to reuse the monitor, then don’t remove it fully, and make sure that the metal band is positioned in the same vertical position as it started.

Now, gently pull the connector away from the chip as shown.

Be careful with this part, as you don’t want to damage either end of the connection. Be even more careful plugging it into the new monitor.

Done! The monitor is fully disconnected from the laptop!
