24 pin psu cable stuck help !!!!

A friend of mine has just bought some new components and a new case and he was trying to transfer the motherboard from the old case to the new one but his 24 pin connector will not budge at all. He's tried every way i can think of but to no avail. Anyone had any experience of this or tips to removing a stubborn 24 pin connector ?? Thanks

You need to press the locking clip in, when trying to remove it.

Make sure his pressing that side thing and then pull with force - nothing else we can tell you really lol - maybe drink a protein shake before doing it

I've built enough computers to know this bit lol looks like the clip you press is lodged in the wrOng way

I had the same problem a while back when I inserted the 24pin connector the wrong way... Lol. I used pliers to hold on the plastic section and wiggled it out while supporting the motherboard with my other hand.

Press it correct way, put very thin flat screw driver or knife between plug and socket and twist it from horizontal to vertical position
