	Well, I've never looked inside an Asus like that but I'll bet
you have what's called a ZIF connector.  Look carefully at the top and
sides of the motherboard connector.  You'll see a little door or flap
on the top OR two little knobs on the sides.  VERY VERY CAREFULLY with
a NOT-SHARP PLASTIC tool or your fingernails (if you're a girl, lol, never
saw a guy with ones that were sharp enough ;-) lift that little door or push
the little knobs out (pop them out a bit).  They're very delicate and don't
move much so be careful.  Now slide the cable into the slot moving the latches
revealed and push the door down or the latches back.
