Sony KDL-46XBR4 Connector disconnect?

Hey Forum
What's the secret of disconnecting this UB1 board from the T-Con? I'm trying to find pinch points to release or does it just pull away? When in doubt, check it out...on my favorite forum....thanks gang.

I dont know but this picture from SJ shows the board with the connector and where it would seperate from the other board, I suspect there is something to push to release it, maybe these silver levers on the connector get pressed in and the connector lifts off the board?

I've got the service manual and it has color pictures of how to disconnect the backlight inverters but nothing on this connection. I've never seen this type connector and I'm trying to be careful so I don't damage anything. I'm not finding the pinch points anywhere to release it. Odd. Just another day in the shop.

Update
Once I took my glasses off so I can see I found small gold push pins on each side and the connector clam shells up from the UB1 board out of the T-Con board connector. That fixed the problem with the T-con and has a nice picture. Built like a tank inside too.
