just adding to the list, mine also died 6 months ago, ATT variant. Very carefully used. Battery is good (checked with meter). No issues with charge port. Just dead. Really disappointing.

PLEASE READ:

Do not try prying anything from the top or sides.

Ribbon #3 slides in from the TOP (the black end), but the lock is on the BOTTOM (the white end).

On the BOTTOM, you can open the lock easily by lifting the bottom edge upward... it flips straight up.

now I understand.. the pic is of the 3GS, but this is correct for the 3G. Hard to visualize, but the lock is opposite of where the ribbon went in. Doh.

You must understand that there is a tiny ribbon keeper (for lack of a better name) that prys up

Noooooo, this is for 3GS only. dont try to pry the 3G ribbon holder, it will break. ask me how i know :(

That comment should be edited in bold "3GS only" before more people break their connectors
