    • Using tweezers, gently pull the five marked ribbons out of the ZIF connectors along the sides of the motherboard.

    • These ZIF connectors are held in place by friction and do not have locks—lifting the flaps on these connectors will break them! Note that in some models the upper-most connector may have a lock.

    • Three of the ribbon connectors have plastic clamping flaps that cover the ribbon to prevent slippage. Use the tweezers to flip them up before ribbon removal.

    • When reassembling the device, be sure to flip the ZIF clamps back down.

    • While the SD card reader is shown as removed in this photo, it is optional for the removal of the motherboard.

    • Carefully pivot the motherboard 90 degrees toward the hinges to reveal two more ZIF connectors on the underside of the motherboard.

    • Both have latches that must be flipped up. The left, longer latch is black; the right, shorter one is white. Flip up the flaps, slide the ribbons out and remove the motherboard.

    • Note which way the ribbons slide into their connectors carefully, as they are different.

I bought a replacement card slot and it has the small flat cable connector not on the top right like on your photos (and in my New 3DS XL) but on the right oriented to the right, see https://abload.de/img/cardslot_sintech_2....

Does anyone have any insight on different revisions of the card slot? Where can I buy a card slot like the one in the photos here? Thanks in advance.

Will I be able to complete this process with a PH00? I don’t have have a PH000 or any JIS screwdrivers.
