Eventually, you're bound to come across a connector that you've never seen anywhere else.

Inspect the connector carefully, and try to determine how it disconnects.

Work slowly, using lots of gentle wiggling. If your first attempt doesn't seem to be working, don't force it. Try another approach and see if a different tool gives a better result.

If you're still having trouble, look for guides of similar devices to see if they provide any clues, or ask for help in our Answers forum.

For example, the connector shown here has a locking tab deep in a tight cavity. A long, thin tool like a spudger can help unlock the tab and disconnect the cable.
