    • Slightly lift up the left side of unit to remove the side panel. Do not remove the rear chassis. Just lift up enough to remove side panel.

    • Caution. The rear Chassis is attached to two ribbon panels so please do not remove the chassis in this step.

    • When opening the rear casing be careful not to pull on the flex cables. There are 2 flex cables on each side of the rear casing.

    • Slightly lift the rear casing. Do not completely remove it. Just lift just enough so the right flex clamp is visible. Keep in mind the left side of the rear casing is also attached to a flex clamp. Use a spudger or other method to release the cable. Do not remove the rear casing yet.

    • Remove flex cable using a spudger or other method. Remove rear casing.

    • These plastic clamps are fragile and break easily. Use caution when releasing the cable. Use equal pressure throughout entire clamp or risk breaking the clamp.
