Faulty documentation for Studio 1536 laptop. Following these, I ripped off the keyboard connector from the motherboard!

When following the service manual instructions, I came to instruction 6 below. It says to rotate the keyboard connector latch towards the FRONT of the computer. The labeled callout (2) points to the grey connector on the right of the keyboard-to-motherboard connector. Trying to rotate that toward the FRONT of the computer (that is, toward me as I sit in front of the computer), however gently, ripped the connector off from the keyboard.

The correct instructions would have pointed the callout to the center of the black bar on the connector and would have instructed me to rotate the black bar toward the BACK of the computer (that is, to lift the black bar UP).

Here are the instructions from the web site:

1. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the keyboard connector on the system board by rotating the keyboard connector latch towards the front of the computer.

1. Slide the keyboard cable out of the keyboard connector.
