Step 5Remove plate connector
Observe how the plate connector is fixed to computer body.
My case was that the back of hinge had place to pop up.
Very gently slide flat drive in and gradually lift it until the plate pops up.
Reverse the laptop and remove the plate connector.
Remove the cables and plugs attached to the plate.
The mechanisms how plate connector is affixed to body of the computer varies.
Some manufacture is more difficult than the others.
Do not force pulling the plate out.

An alternative prying tool for removing plate connectors & other plastic covers from a laptop is a guitar pick. These are made of hard plastic with smooth tips, strong enough to pry up plastic panels and less likely than screwdriver tips to mar their edges.

Yes, a guitar pick will do better job than credit card or screwdriver. I just not have any around. I wish I could play guitar, though.
