Attached touchpad connector

Before pressing new touchpad onto glue strips, remember to install the connector. This will be much harder (although still possible) if you do it after putting the new touchpad in place.
As with other connectors, the black tab has to be raised vertical, ribbon cable inserted in, and then the black tab returned to the horizontal position to lock the cable in.
This was the most difficult action and required the use of two angled tweezers, so ensure you have appropriate tools before commencing this step.
