If you just yank them out you will strip off the contants making the keyboard useless. On wallstreets you have 4 plastic strips that need to be removed. The 2 on the ends are not data cables, they just secure the keyboard. Use a small flathead screwdriver to push into the slot (the side away from the screen) they go in and they will come off easily. The 2 middle cables are data cables, carefully pull the plastic end tabs toward you that hold those cables in place (they move a couple mm but should not come off) and then the cables will come off easily. To reinstall push the cables back in and them press those end tabs back in place to hold the cable.
