Place one end of the ifixit opening tool underneath the white bracket that sits above the motherboard, so that it latches onto the bottom side of the bracket.
With the opposite end of the tool, apply a gentle but firm downward motion to slowly pry the bracket from its position.
The microphone is embedded within the white bracket, so to replace the microphone, you must replace the bracket.
Once enough separation has occurred between the bracket and the motherboard, you can use your fingers to finish fully prying the bracket from its position.
The bracket has multiple edges that can be latched onto with the opening tool. It is recommended to use the opening tool in a counterclockwise pattern around the bracket. This helps prevent damaging the bracket, and smoothly releases it from its position.
