But when you go to remove it, you find it's been epoxied around the pins. Someone obviously made a boo-boo and then proceeded to fix it in the quickest way possible. I can't remove it at the other end either as it's soldered onto the board, no connector. Without removing it somehow I can't take out the steel plate and get access to the other end of the ribbon cable I damaged.

I'm honestly not sure what to do in this situation, I opened the back cover so my warranty is voided pretty badly at this point, but to go ahead and try to repair it would require I void the warranty even further because there's poor design everywhere. This isn't designed like a 300 EUR device for sure... |
I am not sure why you decided to open your device in the first place.
But since that is the past and has happened I am following your posts of the interior with interest.
Alas, I am having a hard time getting the pictures and your writing together. Could you specify more clearly on the pictures (maybe an arrow or alike?) what you are referring to in the text?
