I’d bet the change in my pocket (currently zero) that there’s a connector under that module. The module housing is probably soldered to the board, but that’s easy to desolder and a lot less fragile than the flex connector.[/quote]
Good thing you had no change in your pocket…There isn’t a connector under the module. It really is a surface mounted ribbon. It’s probably why a lot of them are breaking over time. Some dude wrote a FAQ on how to do this, but the last time I tried to solder something this fine, it didn’t work that well.
