The inverter board is a very thin and delicate circuit board that is easily broken. Use caution. This connector tends to stick in its socket. It is helpful to push the connector with the tip of a spudger through the two small holes in the top of the socket while pulling the connector away from the socket. Make sure to grasp the inverter cabling by the black tape and not the individual wires. Pulling the wires themselves will surely damage the inverter cable. /Guide/Installing-iBook-G4-12-Inch-800-MHz-1-2-GHz-Display-Inverter/1191/all#s6351 Installing iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Display Inverter: Step 20 Insert the flat end of a spudger under the middle of the inverter board.
