After we're in you'll be greeted by soldered in vibration motors, mainboard and a battery.

Detach the touch pad by flipping open the grey locking bale/tab on the FPC connector to disconnect the touchpad flex cable as shown in the image.

It is not necessary to disconnect the battery because we like living on the edge but if you do feel a need to do so this can be done by pulling the wires of the battery as closeto the battery connector and as straight as possible out of the mainboard.
