Step Lines

[* black] Stop -- it's connector time! We remove a plethora (that's right, plethora, we're using our five dollar words) of connectors from the logic board, leaving only the brains behind the Thunderbolt port between us and the Display's control center.
[* black] A few T6 Torx screws are knocked out to remove the connector cover, and the Thunderbolt cable is disconnected.
-[* red] Interestingly enough, the Thunderbolt cable has a standard Thunderbolt connector on the logic board side as well. Apple could have just soldered the cable to the board, but instead chose to implement a cover that prevents the cable from being detached from the logic board.
+[* red] Interestingly enough, the Thunderbolt cable that routes into the display also plugs into a standard Thunderbolt socket on the logic board. Apple could have just soldered the cable wires to the board, but instead chose to implement a cover that prevents the cable from being detached from the logic board's Thunderbolt socket.
