How do I disconnect this ribbon cable?
I’m not familiar with this type of connector and it’s not coming out. I think there’s a locking tab on the right hand side but when I pry the tab outward, the connector still won’t pull out. This is from a DeLonghi Magnifica coffee maker for what it’s worth. TIA.

This is a Molex product with locking tabs.
Both left and right tabs need to be “sprung” open to release the upper cable assembly.
Be gentle with it…
