Remember "flat bastard"?
  • Now, reconnecting this one will be very tricky. Here's what I did after several hours of frustration:

  • Before flipping the board back down, make sure you left the flat cable locking piece completely open

  • Flip the board down and reconnect all other cables, except the "flat bastard" one

  • With a spudger or using your hands, lift the main board slightly up, enough for the flat cable to slid into place

  • Once it is there, release the board down. Forget about locking the "flat bastard"'s connector locking piece, you won't be able to do it!

  • I found it easier to put the "flat bastard" in place using twizzers. Whatever you may use, just be carefull to not damage the cable or the connector!

  • Make sure it is in place, then secure it using a piece of kapton tape or any other tape you might have on hand. This will prevent the cable from coming out of its socket when you move your computer.

  • Resist to the temptation to pull it back, it would only make you need to do the job twice.
