Then, use the tweezers or your fingers to gently pull the cable out. Grab the blue strip, as it is intended to be a helping tool when plugging and unplugging these cables. It should have no resistance.

Repeat the process with the other cable, but this time on the motherboard instead of the touchpad board. This one didn't have a big enough blue strip to grab with my tweezers, but it was easy enough to pull out without needing them.

Finally, unscrew the 2 wide M2.0 × 3.0 mm screws and lift the touchpad board, along with one cable, out of the laptop.
