  • The last component we'll try to remove on the road to teardown glory is the Smart Connector port cable.

  • ''Try'' being the operative word...

  • There are no visible screws, and after a lot of Jedi mind tricks, i.e. elbow grease (and totally mangling the cable bracket), the port is still not budging.

  • After literally smashing the contacts through with a hammer, we manage to free the cable.

  • Check that crusty glue! Gross!
