The Microphone (3pin) and Audio cables (2pin) should be lift upwards, not backwards like the camera part. If you break the holder in the socket that connects the pins to connector, then you can still connect them manually like I did.

Superb instructions - made it easy!

Thanks! It saved me $250 dollars doing this. One thing I want to mention to anyone doing this, be careful with the dis-attachment of some smaller cables. They are very sensitive and have tiny parts sometimes that can come off. Fortunately for me, it didn’t prevent it from working, but just a warning. Notice how you are detaching those little cables very carefully before putting them back. I’m thinking about the microphone cable connector up and out of its socket on the I/O boar specifically.
