Before I break this connector...

I'd like to know if there is way to tell ahead of time how to remove this
cable. I've found that trial and error can lead to unrecoverable errors! By
the way, this is (I think) the display connector to the Tascam DL-44WL that
I posted about yesterday. I would like to remove it before turning the board
upside down to get to the display.

unlike written in English computer directions, connectors usually appear rational and concise. But always use a tool …. And 3 hands.

CRC electronics cleaner followed with CRC silicone from Wal are useful thru dusty coverings.

Just a guess, but it looks like the black "comb" would tilt upwards and
stop pinching the flat flex ... possibly FPC type connector.

We have a winner! Thanks Andy. I gently lifted that "comb" and it easily
came up.

With your finger nail , lift up the gray plastic tab. It is hinged on
the back.

There's also the "wedge" type that jams the cable in - they just slide out
slightly instead of flipping up.

Hi Ian,

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if there were some type of universal marking on the
connector so we'd know ahead of time where to pull? I thought I'd make sure
this time by asking first. (-:

Thanks for your reply.

That clamrake will let you do four connectors at once!

MY INTRO was a dead fan in a Dell 1750 ? Vista. Directions from UK.

tool found was a single shaft pick, formerly screwdriver, then bent into a 90 so the lower leg spanned the connector for reassembly. a 2 prong pick is better for apart.

we are thankful for vinyl esters .....
