Remove the six (6) ribbon cables by lifting up on the plastic locking tabs and then slipping the cables out of their sockets.

Remove the other two (2) cables by pulling straight out on the white connectors.

One ribbon cable is hidden beneath black tape.

The motherboard is ESD sensitive. Limit your contact with the green circuit board surface and electrical components. When handling the board, hold it by the edges.

The black lines on the ribbon cables mark the connecting region. When reinstalling, insert the cables up to this line so the locking flap covers it.
