| + | [* icon_note] You may run into a ribbon cable with a socket that looks like a [guide|25629|ZIF connector|stepid=64969] with ''no flap''. Usually, the cable will be more rigid and have a stiff, reinforced plastic end. These connectors are often found in larger devices such as printers, projectors, or games consoles. |
| [* icon_caution] Before trying to disconnect these cables, carefully check for a release mechanism and make sure it's not a ZIF connector. Otherwise, you may permanently damage the socket and cable by forcibly removing it. | |
| [* black] Simply pull these "no-fuss" ribbon cables straight out of their socket to disconnect them. | |
| [* icon_reminder] To reconnect the cable, hold it as close to the end as possible and insert it back into the connector. Apply force to the plastic reinforcement rather than the cable itself. | |
| [* icon_caution] Try not to kink or crease the cable. |
