If the motherboard resists when you’re trying to remove it, take a moment to double-check that all the cables connected to it are unplugged.

Step 17
Hey there, tech whiz! When diving into the world of electronics, remember to grab an ESD-safe tool to keep your gadget safe from accidental shocks.

– Take the pointy end of your trusty nylon spudger and gently pop the unit board out of the case like a pro.
