ZIF Connectors
The computer uses a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector for the keyboard cable to the system board. To remove a cable from a ZIF connector, lift both corners of the ZIF connector and slide simultaneously with constant light force.
CAUTION: A ZIF connector and its attached cable can be easily damaged. Handle only the connector slide when removing or replacing a cable. Never pull or twist on the cable while it is connected.
CAUTION: When servicing this computer, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
