Guest aneljr009 Posted March 24, 2008 CID Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have an old CD-ROM in my CwaPU, I nt to replace it but the problem is I can't remove it, the PIN that connects the POWER SUPPLY to my CD-ROM is locked! Do I have to force it or there is better way to remove it? Then what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted March 25, 2008 CID Share Posted March 25, 2008 is it a standard 4 pin molex connector? http://www.nuggetlab.com/comptia_files/equipment/perif_Molex%20style%20power%20connector.jpg There should be no reason why its locked, unless someone glued it in there. Try wiggling the head of the connector to loosen it. Don't pull the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
