Help needed with ribbon ZIFs (metal frames)

[ajthatch]

Hi,

I am familiar with ZIF plastic flip-up tabs but these are metal and not so obvious to me. How do I open these?

Hi,
You just need to flip open the brown colored viewing it from top,use fine flat tweezers to flip open & do it cautiously do not apply more pressure as you might end up break the connector tab/lock.

You could also use a good magnifier to understand how this could open,it's only mechanical.
