13. Disconnect the trackpad flex cable. 14. Carefully disconnect the keyboard flex cable. Use a non-marring flat-blade tool to slide the locking bar back slightly on both sides. Important: The keyboard flex cable is a Zero insertion force (ZIF) connector. The locking bar on the connector is extremely fragile and is not intended to separate from the connector. When releasing the bar, use extreme care and a restrained light pressure to move the bar only slightly. Warning: If the locking bar breaks, you will need to replace the logic board. Replacement Notes: Make sure the locking bar is released, then slide the end of the flex cable all the way into the connector, above the locking bar. Hold the cable in place, then slide the locking bar into the connector on both sides to secure. Important: Verify that the cable is straight. Use the markings on the cable as guides. Warning: If the flex cable is inserted crooked, some signals may not be connected or signals may short together. Note: If a cable is not securing properly, verify that it is inserted on the correct side of the locking bar. 15. Lift off the top case. Top Case PowerBook G4 (15-inch FW800) Take Apart - 29
