B&W · 14 May 2011 at 11:37

Basically hooking up my new Be Quiet 530W PSU, unhooked by ****e 250W psu, took everything out but theres this last pin that goes to the top of the case that wont disconnect, i dont want to yank it and break it so how do i remove this nice and gently.

PIC:

the pin says P2 on there, how do i take it out!!!

the 20 pin connector was a headache to get out also lol.

there will normally be a little tab on it somewhere that you can lift so that it will slid out.

dandos23 · 14 May 2011 at 11:55

dont do that. deep breaths, get a cup of tea, sit outside and get some fresh air and avoid destroying your computer

i also had the same issue but it turns out that the plastic of the cheap psu made it really hard to wiggle off but i did it eventually

If its a floppy connector, they sometimes get jammed. Apart from brute force and ignorance, there isn't a lot you can do!

the two little wires going in havent been connected directly to the other two? so theres nothing to actually slid apart to say.

This! I can't work out what you are talking about in the pic. I assume you are talking about the white plug in the middle of the pic? Looks like a fan plug or possibly a floppy power plug.

get a small thin flat blade and get it in between the tab.

The part that's an "n" shape looks like a tab which needs to be pulled back slightly at the top of the "n" to release the connection.

****e i ripped one of the bottom 4 cables out. 3 still connected 1 come off though, this is bull

stulid · 14 May 2011 at 12:04

Stick flat blade in the first arrow, the tab will then lift up and over the lock tab.

B&W · 14 May 2011 at 12:04

B&W · 14 May 2011 at 12:05

Calm down and look at the picture stulid posted.

Pull back the part above the tab.

Lift the red bit over the blue bit.
