    Hi,

    Have the manual for the above product and trying to remove the motherboard but the power connector to the board is very difficult to remove. Dont want to break it or the MOBO but any tip on its removal. The diagram say it pulls straight back - tried with fingernails pliers and tweezers - wont budge - there doesn't appear to be any clip mechanism so am I doing something wrong? Anybody removed this? BTW this is a TravelMate 5740 not Aspire.

    Thanks
