How do you remove the ribbon cables from a T-con board?

[neferkamichael]

This is an image of a T-con board that goes in a 70 inch Sharp LCD TV(LC-70LE632U). You can see 2 black and white connectors on the top of the board that a ribbon cable plugs into. How do I get the ribbon cables out of the connectors?
On the left side of this image close to the bottom is a white connector that a ribbon cable with a black connector plugs into. I have already pulled the ribbon cable out of the black connector as I attempted to unplug it.
I have a service manual but am unable to identify the part number for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dick, I can see the image when I open this thread so don't know what went wrong.

On the ribbon side of the black piece with your fingernail lift the black strip will pop up and you can pull ribbon cable. Might have to lift ribbon cable a little to get it out.

Dskall thank you very much, I removed the ribbon cables from the top connectors on the top of the board with no problem. Now when I install the new board do the ribbon cables snap into place or do I have to lift that black piece to install them?
Now, the connector on the bottom left is not exactly the same as the top. The connector on the ribbon cable plugs into the connector on the board, or at least that's the way it looks to me. As I mentioned above, I have already pulled the ribbon cable out of the connector. Looks like there might be tabs on both sides of the connector, not sure.

Connector on left should have tabs on each side. Squeeze them as you pull cable. When you replace you should hear them click in. The ones on top slid in then you push black strip down to lock them.

Interesting, It still doesn't show up on my page.

Me neither.
Quoting his first post there's the link. The link refers to shopjimmy's and does not load with Access Denied error.

Here are the images from Shop Jimmy. Resized them, but they're still HUGE!

ALWAYS use the "Go Advanced" button, then "Manage Attachments" when using pictures in a thread. Don't link to a website or use a picture sharing service. They will lose the picture should the time expire on the sharing site, or the website changes their product links.

Uploaded pictures to the forums will be here many years from now should someone else need help.

Cheers!

Gentlemen thank you so much for the help. I E-mailed Shop Jimmy about the ribbon cable I need but they don't carry it and can't provide the part number for it. I have a service manual for the TV but cannot identify the part number, nor does it seem to show it either. If anyone knows where I might get one I would be most grateful.
Thanks

why new cables ?

Peter, I might have ruined the cable that goes from the T-con board to the main board. As I was attempting to get it loose from the T-con board, I pulled the ribbon cable out of the connector. I'd rather buy a new cable than take a chance, so if anyone can help me find the part number I would be most grateful.
Thanks
