How to remove front panel cable on main board?

[Martien]

Oke I join this thread a liitle late but here is the instruction to remove/fix the flexboard:

This is a so called ZIF socket. ZIF stands for Zero Insertion Force.
The dark plastic part (lets call it a slider) acts as a slot to lock the flexboard.
To release the slot, use your 2 thumbnails to press it out (in the direction of the flexboard), only 1-2 mm is enough.

You can now pull the flexboard out of the socket safely. You may have to use some force because the flexboard tends to stick in the socket.

To insert the flexboard back, use 2 hands. Your left hand to prevent the slider from locking the flexboard to soon.
After succesfull insertion with your right hand (be carefull, it is a tight fit) use your fingernails again to press the slider back in.

Check the picture (post#6) to see if it is properly inserted. You should see only a fraction of the flexboard contact fingers.
