The photo in step #7 is helpful but not sufficiently detailed to explain how the Panasonic ribbon connector works. Fortunately, Panasonic has a very detailed video about how these connectors work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-tBX1UN... (The helpful part of the video starts at 1:24)
It is recommended that you use a soft-tip instrument to flip the connector’s latching bar upward to release the ribbon cable. Then insert the ribbon cable from the replacement screen and carefully press the bar back down.
Do you need a #0000 Phillips as stated in another video, or will a #000 Phillips work to remove the screws. Will a JIS #0000 or #000 work better being it is a Japan Product. Please advise, Thanks
