I tried posting this earlier but my post seems to have disappeared. I purchased a used HP Pavilion dv6130us Entertainment PC. The on/off button is defective and doesn't work but the system boots up by using the QuickPlay button on the switch cover. I have a replacement switch cover I wish to install but I am being thwarted by the 2 ribbon cables connected ZIF connectors on the motherboard. The connectors are small, flat horizontal connectors, rectangular in shape with a small metal clip (?) on each side. I have carefully tried to push the clips, both forward and to the side, without successfully moving them. I seem to be missing something, probably a very easy solution, but can't seem to achieve my goal. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
