To detach the cables, pull out the small sliding latch
under each cable using a small tool to pull on each
side. Try to pull the latch out incrementally on each
side, or pull out both sides simultaneously.
Replacement: When you reinstall cables in ZIF
connectors, insert the cable connector end, metal
side facing up, into the connector, and then gently
push in each sliding latch to secure the cable. Do
not twist the cables.
Warning: Do not pull out the cable before
