    • Locate the ribbon cable connecting the front panel to the circuit board.

    • Locate the white tab locking the ribbon in place.

    • Using precision tweezers push the left and right side of the tab forward.

    • Gently pull the ribbon to disconnect the circuit board from the front panel.

    • If gently pulling on the ribbon doesn't release it then the tab hasn't been pushed far enough forward.
