Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the locking flap—this is the unlocked position.

Use the widest tool possible to avoid damaging the delicate hinge pins.

Use tweezers or your fingers to gently pull the cables out of their sockets.

If the cable has a pull tab, use it to grip the cable. You may damage the cable by gripping it directly.

To reconnect, make sure the locking flap is flipped up and gently reinsert the cable. Then, flip the locking flap down to secure the cable. The cable should slide into the socket with little to no force. If you're having trouble, remove it, check that the flap is fully unlocked, and try again.

Remove the keyboard from the laptop.
