Figure 1-19 Raise the control panel to access the FFC connector (2 of 2) 1 The FFC has two pre-folds about 2.54 cm (1.0 in) from either end (callout 1). If the FFC has been strained (for example stretched too tight when the control panel is removed), it might contain additional folds or creases (callout 2). Additional folds or creases can cause internal damage to the FFC when the keyboard is pulled in and out of the product.
