With the tip of a spudger, push on either side of the I/O board connector to walk it out of its socket on the logic board.
Use your fingernails to pinch the sides of the clip inwards to release the connector. I couldn’t walk it out either, both sides needed to be pushed in simultaneously to pull it out of the socket.
Do not pull from the cables end. you will risk separating thin cables from connector head. Use spudger tip to push it out.

Pull the trackpad ribbon cable straight out of its socket on the logic board.
I didn’t pay enough attention when I pulled the ribbon cable out, so trying to figure out how to reattach it was quite challenging for me. After searching unsuccessfully for videos/instructions on how to reattach, I finally figured out that the ribbon cable goes UNDER the black plastic part of the socket (closest to the ribbon), and then you push the little tab down to hold it in place. Hope this helps others who are struggling with this part. Otherwise, this was an amazing tutorial, and saved my macbook…

Thanks for the the instructions. I have a question that I couldn’t find on the answers forums. Is there any thermal paste or just general cooling system considerations when replacing the logic board?
