FYI, when facing the Nest hello, the ribbon cable is located near the bottom right side of the button (I may have missed this info in the above much appreciated instructions and everyone's input!). I needed to use a small thin flat blade metal screwdriver to ever so gently pry the faceplate off (and then internals out). As mentioned before, the back of the faceplate is attached to the internal component using a foam like adhesive so, as I would get the separation to occur in one side, I would then slide in a spudger and credit card to keep the separation open so I could then continue to gently slide it in and continue to open / remove the faceplate. I needed to also use the metal (more rigid) thin screwdriver between the component and white case to start the removal process, again going slow and being careful to not use too much pressure to crack the case. Also there is a blue silicone gasket just below the internal component face so again, go slow and a bit deeper to ensure you do not damage it.

Aside from fine grit sanding and spray painting or using a silicone cover, has anyone found a creative way to fix the delaminated an existing Gen 1 Google Nest wired / Nest Hello doorbell faceplate (remove the rest of the flaking off laminate)?
