Can't push MacBook ZIF ribbin into socket deep enough to lock it.
Hi I just replaced the DC socket and I cannot push the zif cable ribbon in enough to lock it with the flap. I don't have the plastic spudger but I also can't figure out how the spudger would help or how to get any grip on the plastic ribbon since it's glossy plastic.
Anyone know a trick for me?
This is the reverse of step 14 guide 1676 in a unibody A1342....
Thank you to anyone who can help me out. I'm not a great mechanic.
also can't quite tell if there is an upper and lower channel for the ribbon to go into....
Is this a good question?

I don't know how to get to that guide from the number. Can you give a link?

Hey Tony, that's a good idea, I ended up spending 2 hours trying, and I finally got it by putting the battery in, then I used a small rubber spatula to push the thing in. What a pain in the *%%.... I didn't have electrical tape as I was at a girls house! Thank you, I've never tried anything like that before funny how the new computers seem easier to put together but man tiny electrical is a ^&$#$....
