| [* icon_caution] Because of the awkward angle, this step requires some patience to avoid tearing the cables. Work slowly and apply heat regularly. | |
| [* black] Use blunt nose tweezers to pull the cables away from their ZIF connectors slowly and steadily at a level angle to separate the coating. | |
| - | [* icon_note] If you're having trouble, try rocking the cables side-to-side while pulling. |
| [* icon_note] Gripping the tweezers closer to the head can help get a tighter hold on the cables. | |
| [* black] Keep pulling on the cables until they're completely disconnected. | |
| - | [* icon_reminder] During reassembly, follow [guide|170440|this guide|new_window=true] to clean off any remaining coating on the digitizer cables and their ZIF connectors. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] During reassembly: |
| + | [* black] Inspect the ends of the cables and the ZIF connectors for any remaining coating that could prevent a good connection. |
| + | [* black] Peel off the coating, heating the cable and the ZIF connectors when the coating becomes too brittle. |
| + | [* icon_note] It doesn't have to look pretty! You just need to remove enough coating to have the cables sit properly in their connectors. |
