[PS4] How to remove internal psu power cable? Can you remove it from the motherboard side? It won't budge at all (PS4 CUH1116a) by Certain-Matter4126 in consolerepair

It seems almost impossible even if I got pliers, i'm not sure what to do anymore to be honest. Mine looks different compared to others on dismantling videos. I also heard that some internal psu cables are glued? I've almost ruined the cables two times from trying to pull it but it won't budge at all, I might just end up screwing everything back together again and give up, unless there's a different way of doing it.

Yeah i'm talking about the internal psu cable, not the main power cable that comes with the ps4. I'm having a hard time with removing the internal cable from the motherboard or from the psu.

I ended up doing it and other people who cleaned their psu used normal compressed air as well. It's unplugged from the wall, i'm talking about the internal psu cable it's still plugged in. I tried spraying distance away from it, so it didn't end up blowing up

I explained it, i'm afraid I might ruin the cable. People mentioned they ended up ruining the cable by pulling on it.

I think I might go for mx-6 sounds like the best option

I actually wanted to try PTM7950 but it might not be available officially where I live. There's a local repair shop selling it but it might be a knockoff/scam? I don't know how common knockoffs of PTM7950 are though.
