Connector Types; Using Connectors With Locks - Acer Extensa 61X Service Manual

4.1.2

Connector Types

There are two kinds of connectors on the main board:
Connectors with no locks
Unplug the cable by simply pulling out the cable from the connector.
Connectors with locks
You can use a plastic stick to lock and unlock connectors with locks.
The cables used here are special FPC (flexible printed-circuit)
cables, which are more delicate than normal plastic-enclosed
cables. Therefore, to prevent damage, make sure that you unlock
the connectors before pulling out the cables. Do not force cables
out of the connectors.
CONNECTORS WITH LOCKS
Unplugging the Cable
To unplug the cable, first unlock the connector by pulling up the two clasps on both sides of
the connector with a plastic stick. Then carefully pull out the cable from the connector.
Plugging the Cable
To plug the cable back, first make sure that the connector is unlocked, then plug the cable
into the connector. With a plastic stick, press the two clasps on both sides of the connector to
secure the cables in place.
