    • Carefully lift the back cover partially off of the camera.

    • There are two ribbon cables still connecting the back cover to the camera.

    • Disconnect the right most ribbon cables from the main PCB board.

    • 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.

    • Remove the left ribbon cable using the same two steps as with the other ribbon cable.
