Disconnecting More Flex Cables
  • Locate 8x flex cables connected the logic board

  • For each flex cable, pull up on their plastic flap with a pair of tweezers

  • Take the hook end of a Halberd Spudger and gently pry up the retaining flap on the ZIF socket of each cable

  • Make sure to use gentle force as this shouldn't require a lot of force. If excessive force is used, you could break the flex cable.

  • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.

  • Take your tweezers and pull on the plastic cover to pull each cable away from the ZIF socket to remove the flex cable from it's socket

  • Make sure to use gentle force as this shouldn't require a lot of force. If excessive force is used, you could break the flex cable.

  • If any of the plastic flaps break off don't worry! You can use a combination of your spudger and tweezers to gently pull out the flex cable from it's respective socket
