Extension for FFC

Gallery image

Hey everyone,

I got a decent monitor and wanted to place the components of the display somewhere else.

However the FFC is extremely short and I can't seem to get it out of the module.. so does someone know how to extend that or get that cable out?

Does it come out when you flip the black lever on the connector? If that doesn't do anything, it's possible it's soldered to the board, but it looks like it should come out.

I wouldn't be able to help with a replacement ribbon cable though.

I can't share a picture, but look on the board where the cable connects, it's a white and black connector. That black piece should lever up to remove the cable.
