1. Step 9 Display
  Flip up the little black tab on the connecter of the display's ribbon.
  
  Don't use a metal object for this step. A fingernail will do. Simply slide your fingernail under the lip and lift slowly. You may need to lift in different areas along the tab to get it all the way up.
  
  The top tab in the second picture is up while the bottom tab is down to show a comparison.

3. Step 11
  Take the new display and orient it the same way as the old screen before it was removed.
  
  Gently slide the end of the electric ribbon into the connector.
  
  To make sure that the ribbon is completely in the connector give it a firm push but don't force anything. The ribbon should slide in with only a little resistance.
  
  Don't bend the ribbon.
