Handle every cable by its connector and put each one back in its own place during reassembly.

  2. Unplug the TouchPad cable (2) from the system board. (printed page 25).
  3. Let go of the connector (3) that carries the display panel cable, and unplug that cable from the system board. (printed page 25).
