[Answered] Unplugging the cable from CD drive?

henryutd · 09-18-2006

Hi,

I bought a new PSU and I'm having trouble to remove my old one. The only problem I'm having is to remove the cable from the CD drive. It's really hard to get out

anyone know how I can get this out?

Thanks in advance,
Henry

Some connectors can be quite stiff-- this is how you gain that "experience" stuff

Hehehe, yea...
You're lucky Henry, when i first change out my power supply, the main plug on the motherboard had 2 halfs to it...and if you got it wrong, you would fry the computer...now it's obvious which way it goes, because it only goes one way (unless you jam it).

Good luck
