I knocked the battery's ribbon cable out of my PineTime, and I haven't been able to reinsert it.
The white connector has metal clips on the outside, so I'm guessing I'm supposed to press the clips in. I thought maybe the top of the white connector would then flip up, but that doesn't seem to be the case. There's a black plastic plug at the back of the white connector, so I'm guessing that is supposed to slide out, and that did work.
So, is this the process?...
1. Press the metal clips on the outside of the white connector
2. Slide the black plastic block out of the back of the white connector
3. Insert the ribbon cable into the front of the white connector
4. Press the metal clips again, and slide the black plastic block back in.
That's what I tried to do, but in the process I damaged the white connector so badly that neither the ribbon cable nor the black plastic block will fit into it. The white plastic is surprisingly brittle, so my tweezers broke various pieces off it.
Fortunately I have a 2nd PineTime, but I'm wondering how this connector is supposed to work in case I need to use it again.
Thanks,
Dan.
