Removing the motherboard.

Remove the four screws, marked by red circles, to remove the motherboard.
Now lift the motherboard slowly up while moving it to the right. Removing it this way prevents damage to your ports.
As you see in the picture, the I/O board and screen connector wasn't here. They must be disconnected before removing the motherboard, not like the bluetooth board or coin-cell battery.
