    • Two cables connected to the LED were once connected to the motherboard, but are still attached to the body. They are threaded through black ovals connected to the body by a hard black adhesive.

    • Using a metal spudger, scrape underneath this adhesive and pry up, freeing the cable from the body. Repeat this for the other cable to free the LED.

    • Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws marked.

    • Keep in mind the speaker hub will still not be able to be removed due to the wires running through it. These wires are directly attached to the speaker. If you are replacing the speaker, it is important that these are removed from the hub to allow for the replacement speaker to be introduced.
