Nice tut. However, I couldn’t remove the 2 screws on the side of the USB connector. They seem to be rotating loosely with a trembling sound. Any ideas how to remove it?.

They’re not turning in the second section. The screw is just stuck in the black piece. Try using very pointed tweezers to help remove the screws. Put the points just underneath the screw head and hold it up as you unscrew it.
