Use the iFixit Opening Tool to flip up the small locking flaps on the five ZIF ribbon cable connections attached to the motherboard. The ribbon cables easily release from their sockets with almost no force.

ZIF stands for Zero Insertion Force; if you're experiencing any resistance whatsoever during disconnection, double-check that the locking flaps are flipped up.

To disconnect the two display cable connectors, gently push the tip of a spudger under the clip. Then, swing the clip over to the other side of the socket, so that it lays flat against the cable.

Holding the clip and cable together, gently pull in the direction of the cable to remove the connector from its socket.
