We are now free to remove the motherboard. Start by prying from the left side of the phone, making sure that none of the ribbon cables are catching on the motherboard as it is lifted
The goal is to lift the motherboard to roughly a 45-degree angle on this side, as the charging port needs to be inserted and removed on an angle (see photo 2)
Although I chose to start lifting from closer to the top of the motherboard, there are no physical components on the back, so damage is unlikely as long as you're careful (see photo 3)
