Grab the top of the motherboard, then pull upwards and towards the back of the device to remove the motherboard.
Do not immediately pull the motherboard upwards, as the front volume wheel and SD card reader will get caught on the bottom chassis, resulting in damage.
Lay the motherboard on a clean flat surface so that the CPU cooler is visible, as shown in the second picture.
