Steps:

1. Using a blue opening tool, work your way around the perimeter of the rubber foot, prying along the way until the adhesive releases.
2. Be careful not to warp the speaker housing with excessive force.
3. After the adhesive is broken, simply remove the rubber foot with your fingers.

4. With your T5 screwdriver, unscrew the 2 silver, 5.4mm screws.

5. Grasp the IO daughter board ribbon between your thumb and pointer finger, then gently pull up and toward the display to unseat the ribbon cable.

6. With your fingernail or tweezers, flip the clip up ninety-degrees, so it's standing perpendicular to the IO daughter board.

7. Grip the ribbon cable near the port with round-tip tweezers, and pull directly backwards, parallel to the board, to disconnect the ribbon cable. You can also use your fingers if you don't want to grab your tweezers.
