connector - header help

does anybody know how to take these darn :*** connectors apart? i believe i can pull the pins out of the housing, but i can't seem to figure it out. if i can do this, i can at least get my power button hooked up for now (i'm reusing an old hp case). thx, sos

You just need to use something like a sewing needle
and very carefully push down on the Tab you see. Then
gently pull out the wire. You will need to use the same
needle or pointy tweezer to gently Lift the Tab back up
before you put the wire into the new connector shell.

 

thx, bruce. i thought that, but i couldn't get it to work. my g/f actually pulled up on the plastic, and was able to pull the wires out. at least now i can use the power button on front of the case. the electronics places around here said i'd have to rig it, whatever. :major - sos
