To disconnect and connect Mylar flex cables

Use this procedure when you are instructed to disconnect or connect a Mylar flex cable. Such cables and their connectors are fragile; mishandling may damage the cable or connector.

To disconnect the cable

1Pry up the retainer slightly at either end of the connector using a small flat-blade screwdriver. Do not force the retainer; it should remain attached to the body of the socket.

2Gently pull the flex cable out of the connector.
