Utilizing the Precision Tweezer disconnect all three JST Connectors connected to the motherboard.
To disconnect the first three JST Connectors, use the precision tweezer and firmly grip the sides of the connectors and pull it up.
To disconnect the last JST Connector, use the precision tweezer, firmly grip the sides of the connectors and carefully move it side to side until it unplugs.
For helpful instructions on disconnecting various connector types, refer to this guide.

To disconnect the LED connector from the motherboard, use a pair of tweezers or a clean fingernail to gently wiggle the black connector from side to side until it slides off.
Use caution when wiggling this connector side to side, as excessive force may cause it to break.
Once the connector is removed, the white ZIF tape will naturally detach from the motherboard. At this point, all components have been successfully disconnected, and the motherboard is ready for replacement. To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
