Zero Insertion Force Connectors

Zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors are used in several locations in the computer.

Important: The locking bar on the ZIF connector is extremely fragile and is not intended to separate from the connector. When releasing a bar, use extreme care and a restrained light pressure to move the bar only slightly.

Warning: If a locking bar breaks, you will need to replace the board.

To release the flex cable

Use a flat-blade tool to move the bar on both sides.
