Hi! I have just a quick question! The front display panel of my Sony Blu Ray player had broken! The small board with the USB mounted onto it, remote sensor and buttons! What is the name of this board? I was looking to order a replacement

Cannon proceed past 3, I dont understand how you are supposed to release the tabs and press forward, I only have two hands. The tabs click back in place immediately and I don’t have any place to get a grip of to remove the plate
