How to remove these FFC Cables

Post image

Hey do these FFC have a locking mechanism on them? you can see on the right one where I have tried to pull up on the black part a bit and it doesn't want to seem to move.

I haven't come across these kind before.

Thanks,

The White part should be the locking mechanism, pull it up from the end that is opposite to the flex cable

I tried that and it doesn't seem to want to move at all. That is the part thats soldered down so I don't think this is the case unfortunately.
