    GENTLY pull up the little white plastic bar (you can use fine tweezers or a super small flat head screwdriver or your fingernails) that holds down the ribbon cable, then you can easily pull out the ribbon cable. After putting the cable back in, push the bar back down until it locks.

    Most important thing is to do it WITH CARE because the small plastic part snaps quite easily. There are tons of reports with broken connectors around here.
