    • Gently pull up on the speaker cable connector to disconnect it from the front panel board.

    • Be careful to pull up on the cable's connector and not the connector on the board. It's pretty flimsy and you might accidentally pull it off the board entirely.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the antenna cable from the front panel board.

    If this connector is broken off, will that prevent the control panel to not work at all and NOT turn on? Is there a fix or work around IF this connector is broken off?

    • Remove the two 9.5 mm T8 Torx screws from the WI-Fi board.

    • Lift the Wi-Fi board straight up from its socket in the upper metal case.

    • Leaving the Wi-Fi board antenna cable in place, move the Wi-Fi board aside, exposing the screw labeled "C3" that was beneath it.

    When reassembling- put the outer ones on first to secure the port to the metal. Then putting the wi-fi board into the port will be easy

    • Disconnect the Wi-Fi board interconnect cable from the motherboard.

    • Remove the upper metal case.

    This connector may be exceptionally difficult to remove, and it is not strictly necessary for the replacement of the hard drive if you are careful.

    Gave up on trying to unplug this and took out the 3 torx screw that was mounting the black connector on the other end 😈 way easier
