1. Ugh. Gotta get those ribbon cables from the new screen back into their connectors. They just don't want to go in very far and I'm afraid to break them. Suggestions on handling?

2. IMPORTANT Edit: I figured it out. There are little black tabs on each side of the two connectors that pull out horizontally (parallel with the board surface) like a tray. Once the "tray" comes out, you can set your ribbon connectors down and slide the tray back in until it locks. I was going crazy for like 20 min trying to figure that out. Oh also, that would've made it a lot easier to remove the old one.
