    • Use a plastic spudger to lift up the black locking tab.

    • Pull out the ribbon cable from its connector using a pair of angled tweezers.

    • With this ribbon cable disconnected, you will be able to move the back cover slightly farther away from the camera, giving you more room to remove the remaining ribbon cable.
