Begin separating the main board

Don't try to fully remove the motherboard during this step—the corner near the power button is still secured by metal prongs, which will be disconnected in the next step.
Insert the flat end of a spudger under the main board (near the fan recess) and twist the spudger to separate the board.
Repeat this process at different points around the perimeter to separate the board.
