This one ribbon connector may also have a plastic clamping flap, but it's not like the others, rather it's similar to the one used for the Circle Pad. Gently flip up the flap on the side opposite the ribbon cable to remove the cable.

FYI: Under Tools you state a Philips #000 is needed but in the instructions you have JIS #000.
Submitted an edit! I corrected some of the bit sizes in the instructions as well (in our repair, a #00 was never used).
FYI: Under Step 13, you missed 1 ribbon cable that also needs to be detached in order for the motherboard to be separated. It is the tiny IC housed in a small PCB near the bottom left of the C-Stick. In fact, this little ribbon gets separated and reattached throughout your guide pictures starting with step 8. Here is a link to the ribbon in question (Note: Pic borrwed from Step 12 which highlights the red cable. Look for my lighter arrow which shows the missing ribbon): http://i.imgur.com/0V7QI4i.jpg
Thanks for the tip! The ribbon cable has been added to Step 12. Feel free to edit it to add anything specific about the procedure.
Total lack of information in these fix instructions about the new black zif connectors. The ones we have all be used to for years are mention in detail (eg. the one for the toddle stick). But nothing about the new ones that supply the home button, mic etc. I have today totally wrecked a customer’s new 3DS XL as a direct result of following this guide. As these new zifs were not mentioned I thought (stupidly) they should just be flipped up but obviously this destroys them. Whoever makes these guides would know these clips to be a problem but neglected to warn would be fixers about them (was it deliberate as I cannot think why you would neglect such a crucial fact). I am still not sure how they operate -. Yours felling stupid for trusting ifix and also very let down.
