Seperate the midframe

Time to take out the screwdrivers now. All of the black screws are P1 Phillips, while all the smaller silver ones are P00 Phillips.
The P1 Phillips screws are different lengths, so make sure to keep them separated. Blue markers indicate the screws.
Make sure you get all of the screws, especially the one in the top right I missed the first time.
Lift the midframe SLOWLY as there are 2 sets of wires and a flex cable connected. Unfortunately, the 2 sets of wires are soldered to the board. Just carefully unplug the flex cable using tweezers, needle nose pliers, or your fingers, whichever you prefer.
The 2 sets of wires go to the motor in the unit and the battery bay. The motor just fell out and stayed attached to the circuit board during this teardown. You could desolder the wires, but I didn't end up needing to.
