I might be wrong but isn't it necessary to unplug it in order to
replace the keyboard?

It certainly makes replacing the keyboard controller impossible, but
that isn't something I've seen necessary very often.

Oh wait, are you saying it's not OK to remove the connector that is
crossed out by the red, but it is OK to remove the other end?
Today we had the problem when removing that "other end" and it's not
the first time I've seen it happen. The black thing came off and
doesn't attach itself again.

Thanks,
