Hello, I am replacing parts of my computer, but I am haveing trouble unpluging the PSU connecters(one of the parts I am switching) from the motehrboard. Does hp put some sort of glue in the connecters? think my motherboard's pieces are getting looser the more I pull on the PSU's cords. I even tried getting it out by pulling it up with a screwdriver and still no luck, the pieces look loose and the cords are in just as they were before I tried to remove them.

some manufactors will use a small bead of silicon sealant to hold a connector in place.It will be the clear type.If you see it,pull it off first.

All the plugs have some sort of clip you have to press on one side.

I replaced the poer supply, but I had to pry the stuff out with a metal piece on the back that is used to cover the unused PCI e ports. the plastic pieces on the moterboard have come up a little but the pins are still in place. I think I was pushing on the clip hard enough... I had to break the clips. It was an old PSU with a wattage that was too low for my upgrade so I didn' tneed to leave the cords in tact. can you normally just pull them out with your hand?
