    • Remove the wire connection by gently pulling on the fuse and connection itself.

    • Do not pull on the wires, as this can remove the wires from the connection, destroying the fuse.

    • Remove the ribbon by gently pulling up the ends of the white receiver it is inserted in to.

    • You may need to use tweezers for this part.

    • During reassembly, when inserting the ribbon, you will hear a quiet, clicking sound when pushing down on the ends of the receiver. Hearing this ensures the ribbon is in place.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order starting at step 5.
