Before I break this connector...
I'd like to know if there is way to tell ahead of time how to remove this
cable. I've found that trial and error can lead to unrecoverable errors! By the way, this is (I think) the display connector to the Tascam DL-44WL that I posted about yesterday. I would like to remove it before turning the board upside down to get to the display. http://webpages.charter.net/mrfixite...-connector.jpg Thanks for your replies. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

We have a winner! Thanks Andy. I gently lifted that "comb" and it easily came up. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

There's also the "wedge" type that jams the cable in - they just slide out slightly instead of flipping up. |

Hi Ian, Yes, wouldn't it be nice if there were some type of universal marking on the connector so we'd know ahead of time where to pull? I thought I'd make sure this time by asking first.

That clamrake will let you do four connectors at once! -- David Farber Los Osos, CA MY INTRO was a dead fan in a Dell 1750 ? Vista. Directions from UK. tool found was a single shaft pick, formerly screwdriver, then bent into a 90 so the lower leg spanned the connector for reassembly. a 2 prong pick is better for apart. we are thankful for vinyl esters ..... |
