    • Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the locking flap of the ZIF connector located between the two "no fuss" ribbon cables that are attached to the board. This action puts the connector in the unlocked position.

    • Use the widest tool possible to avoid damaging the delicate hinge pins.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to gently pull the cable out of its socket by the blue tab.

    • You may damage the cable by gripping it directly.

    • To reconnect, make sure the locking flap is flipped up and gently reinsert the cable. Then, flip the locking flap down to secure the cable. The cable should slide into the socket with little to no force. If you're having trouble, remove it, check that the flap is fully unlocked, and try again.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to pull the remaining four "no-fuss" ribbon cables straight out of their socket to disconnect them.
