Be careful for #3 cable

My Problem

Screen digitizer was damaged and front screen started popping up.

My Fix

Kind of an uh oh moment when I first popped off the screen. The #3 cable pulled out. I thought it ripped but I just noticed the little lever was popped up when the cable was pulled so I got lucky.

My Advice

Watching the iFixit video as well as other videos be very diligent in holding the upper part of the screen when pulling the bottom out after taking out the two screws. Be patient (unlike me) and ease it out making sure the upper part of the screen stays hinged. Helps to have a suction cup.
