How to open flex cable connector

lartsu:
Could you help me a bit..

I'm not sure how to open this type flax cable connector (Nikon Z7 lcd cable). How to open this type of connector?

Thanks in advance.

jpanhalt:
There's usually a lever on the side that lifts up and releases the FFC.  On this connecter, it looks like the white piece may be that part.

lartsu:
It seems that there is no lever to lifting it up. I want be sure how to open this type of connecter. 

jpanhalt:
Here's a grossly similar one from Molex.  It is open, and apparently the black part just tilts up.  In all cases I have seen, a part over the cable swings up.  When you re-insert the cable, it snaps back down to hold the cable.  Do that carefully to be sure everything is aligned.  Some have a latch on the side, others, just a fingernail under the movable part opens it.  The Nikon D70s  I disassembled was the latter type.  The latch was brown rather than black.  It doesn't take much force.

Be sure us wear ESD protection.

lartsu:
It's not same style as in your picture which opens on cable side.  There are also these connecters but this connector in question is different. Most likely it opens on other side but I want to be sure.
