    • You must remove the plastic cover found just above the speaker.

    • To access these screws, you must remove the rubber pad that is glued to the base.

    • To remove the pad, slide a metal spudger under the edge of the pad. Pry the pad away from the base, removing the glue.

    • Once the pad is pulled up enough to grab, peel it the rest of the way exposing the screws.

    • The rubber pad is thin and fragile; be careful not to tear when removing.

That’s not a “tape-style wire”, that’s a ZIF flex cable! (ZIF is short for Zero Insertion Force)

To unplug that flex cable (which connects the LEDs to the main board) flip the little black bit at the other side of the connector up, then pull out the cable.
