Nice little guide. The only thing I can really think to add would be on the last part for those of us who are super-paranoid about breaking something. If you could add a picture of what the ZIF connector looks like after it's opened would help some.
I appreciate the guide, thanks. :)
Ditto on all of it. I think I broke my ZIF connector !! Help!! 😔
