Appendix: How to remove LVDS connector
Removing the LVDS Cable/Connector used in different types of LVDS Cable Kits like 821517, can easily
damage the LVDS connector if it’s not done carefully, like just pulling the cable.
The best way to remove the connector is to pull the cable, but with only light force and at the same time
move the cable from side to side, meaning from 45º to 90º position compared to normally 0º. See pictures
below.
Hold the cable by 2 fingers in a position something like 2 cm from the connector and start moving the cable
as described above. After something like 10-20 movements the connector will normally be released. When
the connector starts to gets loose be extra careful.
By this method the LVDS Cable/Connector can be disconnected hundred of times without being damaged.
