I'm not familiar with this model, so this advice is based on past experiences. Be very careful and just try to be gentle and experiment a bit with it.

Well, if you can't just pull it up like standard connector, then I would assume that the brown piece on the board would be a slip cable lock. Just pull gently on the cable at that end and it should just slide out from the brown connector. The cable end will have a plastic slip guide on it when you get it out, that's how it stays in the socket.

To reinstall, line up the cable and slide it in until secure.
