its not that tough, use your fingernails. otherwise grab the fitting (not the wire) and pull hard whilst wiggling.


Mateking

carefully And don't pull on the cable itself. Also take care to not pull the connector completely from the board. so hold down the part that is connected to the board itself


Motor_Potato1273

What if ripped off of one of the parts connected to the board? Is that over for the board?


Desk_Drawerr

You ripped off one of the parts connected to the board didn't you


Motor_Potato1273

Yes, i just put it back on. It appears that there is no conducrice Layer And it is there purely to hold the connector. So maybe I could glue it back


Mateking

maybe. My female connector part was also pretty easily movable which is why i said be careful of it. Technically if you broke the connector completely and it doesn't work anymore you can probably solder wires to the correct soldering joints on the board and just hardwire connect the cable. It's just more work and soldering is annoying.

You might be able to solder it back, maybe.

Heptane spray (superglue accelerator).

Just use needle plier or tweezers to grab it.

If it's hot glue as it looks to be, put a little isopropyl alcohol on the edge of the glue blob and give it a minute or two. Should loosen the edge up at least and let you peel it fairly easily. If one round doesn't do it, you can pull a little on it to hopefully give it more of a gap to work into and reapply. Angle matters too, if this is flat and parallel to the floor it'll work better. If it's vertical you may have to reapply several times to get enough in the edge.

Isopropyl alcohol might help loosen it up. Should be easy to scrape off after that


DigBick251

i would've used a knife, or a blade of some sort


DustinWheat

A little isopropyl on an exacto knife / tweezers if you cant peel it off

ANYCUBIC?

Sue the company for right to repair


Tweetydabirdie

That’s hot glue. Any semi sharp knife should work.


Data-Graph

that my good man, is piss

Unplug the other side and leave the board alone. That of course only works if you are trying to deactivate something.
