How are you supposed to replace this part if it's connected to the Touchscreen panel by a flat ribbon cable. The pictures show the touchscreen controller that has been severed/cut by where the flat cable goes 90 degrees towards the touchscreen, you cannot just replace this part by itself as shown in the pictures. WTF????
My Thoughts exactly. Mine has one connector that is easily removed, the smaller end. The large wide end is up under a metal frame. I gave a gentle tug, but apparently its glued or sealed. Now to figure out how to remove it. Guessing a heat gun to the glass is the easiest way? No coming apart from the back/inside!
why is this still up. you can’t replace this part so the title is misleading. This part is torn easy you must remove the board from the tablet with the touch cable connector unlatched but the cable still in. if you try to bull it out first it rips.
