    • Pry the gold Wi-Fi antenna connector, located under the previously removed foam pad, away from the Wi-Fi transmitter board to disconnect it.

    • Gently pull the black wedge away from the main board until it shifts to a stop. You will feel it slide out, then stop.

    • Lightly pull the ribbon cable away from the connector.
