Lift up the power button cable retention clip on the motherboard and pull the cable out.

If this step has been completed correctly, the camera board should be loose, with the tape still attached to the connection apparatus.

Remove the copper tape carefully.
Gently pull back the yellow transparent plastic covering on top of the battery connection port.

Using the top end of the motherboard as a hinge and fold the motherboard back so it rests outside of the tablet chassis. There is a small amount of adhesive on the back side of the motherboard, which provides a small amount of resistance to the folding motion. If done correctly, the motherboard should look the picture above.
