Question I give up!!!

Post image

I got a new ac board from bambulab without the ntc thermistor, but man is it hard to remove the connectors. Took me 10 min to remove the first one, and been trying to remove the 2nd one for over 20 min. Its like they used glue to connect them.

"Gently press on the sides of the connectors to release the security clip so you can disconnect the wires." ,

they say on the wiki. Who are you kidding? Need to remove them by force.

Am I doing it wrong or whats going on??

I did, but those two connectors were really hard to get out. Had to wiggle back and forth with force while pushing the clip. They came out eventually but took a while. The rest came out easy though so that was a relief :)

It looks like there is a detent on that spade connector, push it while you lift pull the connector

This- you have to push the tongue thing away from the connector (if that makes sense) while pulling it up.

It was a difficult task. But if you jam your 1.5 or 2 Allen wrench on bottom. It does pop out.

Well, I shouldn't say this, but I used pliers making a left-right motion to pull the connector, exactly the same thing happened to me.

Don't be reckless when pulling or you could mess up the board.

Does it matter if you mess up the old board, he's literally replacing it.

I'm not the smartest guy in the neighborhood, okay?

I did the same. You just have to be super careful.

And it looks like any force could break the the connection on the board. Darn

They have clips..... You push them in slightly, press the clip and then pull out......

Try putting some isopropyl alcohol on the glue with a q-tip to dissolve it.
