That’s what I was looking for! Thanks!

 

Any other video/text explaining how to disarm all the pieces at the top plate?

 

thanks  all!

May I ask why you want to do this?

I've never done this... but it looks like the cables connecting the top plate to the body are a mixture of things you can take off (connectors with pins) and soldered connectors which will mean removing the PCB assembly they’re attached too (unless of course your skill set means you can un-solder and re-solder them)

I’ve no real skills in this area (so ignore me!) but there seems to be things that can go wrong here... damage to any of those cables for one

I've done this on my M8.

From memory, all the ribbon connectors push into plastic mounts around the connection point. You need to depress a little catch to release them.

It will be obvious once you see them. Might also be worth taking precautions against static build up if you're going to do this.

Here's a video of it being done with a Monochrom. I imagine it would be similar.

EDIT. Just noticed it's an M9 Monochrom, so follow the first video I shared for how to remove the retaining bolts. The top plate cabling might also be different but it at least shows how to remove the ribbon connector.
