I'm trying to replace a part on my camera and need to disconnect a connector that looks like this:
From what I understand, they're extremely fragile and so I don't want to accidentally break anything (as many others unfortunately did when working on this camera).
Whats the correct way to unlock this connector?
Which part of the connector unlocks? The bottom or the top part?
The black plastic portion is hinged. Very gently lift it up with small tweezers or a jeweler's screwdriver, taking care not to open it beyond the range of the small hinges on which it pivots.
Some other flat flex ribbon cable connectors pull out to unlock and push in to lock. You just have to inspect them carefully.
