Disassembly Procedures
Three main types of cable connector are used.
θPressure plate connector
θSpring connector
θNormal pin connector
When disconnecting a pressure plate connector, draw the tab on one side of the plastic pressure plate on the connector and pull the cable out from the connector. When reconnecting a cable to a pressure plate connector, draw enough the pressure plate and insert the cable into the connector. Press both sides of the pressure plate such that both sides of the plate and connector are at the same height and that the cable is fixed in the correct position. Pull the cable to ensure that it is securely connected. If the cable is disconnected from the connector, reconnect it making sure that you draw enough the pressure plate to insert fully the cable.
For spring connectors, lifting up the stopper frees the cable and allows it to be pulled out. To reconnect, hold the stopper in the up position and insert the cable, then lower the stopper to secure the cable.
Normal pin connectors are used for all other cables. Simply pull out or push in these connectors to disconnect or reconnect.
