The last component we'll try to remove on the road to teardown glory is the Smart Connector port cable.

''Try'' being the operative word...

There are no visible screws, and after a lot of Jedi mind tricks, i.e. elbow grease (and totally mangling the cable bracket), the port is still not budging.

After literally smashing the contacts through with a hammer, we manage to free the cable.

Check that crusty glue! Gross!
