Connections

Connections within the computer are one of four types:

Locking collar sockets for ribbon connectors	To release these connectors, use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry
	the locking collar away from its base. When replacing the connection, make
	sure the connector is oriented in the same way. The pin1 side is usually not
	indicated.
Pressure sockets for multi-wire connectors	To release this connector type, grasp it at its head and gently rock it from side
	to side as you pull it out. Do not pull on the wires themselves. When replacing
	the connection, do not try to force it. The socket only fits one way.
Pressure sockets for ribbon connectors	To release these connectors, use a small pair of needle-nose pliers to gently
	lift the connector away from its socket. When replacing the connection, make
	sure the connector is oriented in the same way. The pin1 side is usually not
	indicated.
Board-to-board or multi-pin sockets	To separate the boards, gently rock them from side to side as you pull them
	apart. If the connection is very tight, use a small flat-head screwdriver - use
	just enough force to start.
