Hey guys. Just bought a new power supply to replace my old one but while I was unplugging the old power supply I came to a problem. The cord going from the power supply to the mother board seems to be stuck. I've tried pulling hard but I'm starting to get afraid I will break something. Any ideas? Thanks

Yup if you're talking about the 24 pin connector they get stuck often.

Use one hand to support the motherboard and prevent flexing. Take your other hand and use it to pull out the connector. Your thumb should be on the latch while doing this. Wiggle it back and forth with a decent amount of force.
