Does anyone know how to disengage this ribbon from the connector. This is basically what's preventing me from replacing the touch screen panel. I don't want to brake anything and don't know how to disconnect this.

You take the top screws first and the touch screen/lcd comes down.

I don't want to damage the ribbon, all I need to do is disconnect it, some of these connectors are disengaged by pushing the tabs, or pulling them.

Give it a try, it has to have a release and that looks like the obvious location. It may require a screwdriver to release it.
