The tab will rotate up 90 degrees, releasing the ribbon cable. Make sure you're attempting to free the tab closest to the hard drive ribbon and not the black section of the connector.
	Slide the orange hard drive ribbon cable directly out of its connector. The cable may be attached to the logic board with some adhesive. If the cable doesn't immediately come free, carefully pull up on the cable to loosen the adhesive.
	You have successfully removed the Hard Drive Cable. To reassemble your iPod, simply follow the directions in reverse order.
