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.

Thanks for your replies.

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

That worked!


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.
