I've got a question. I There's a red collored ribbon cable connected to the PS2 mainbord, that I can't remove. It's a cable that comes from the DVD drive and goes to the PS2 mainbord, in a black shaped box. The box looks like a socket so I tried to pull out the cable savely, but that didn't worked.
How do you remove that cable, do I need to pull harder, or is there a special way to get it lose.

Thankx!

there should be something like a little "hatch" above at the top of the connector. all you have to do is lift it up for easy removal. at least there should be a hatch.

Ok, thankz.. do you (or someone els) know how to remove the controler port cable (black cable) easly???

same way

All ribbons are secured by the clip looking thing, just lift the clip with a small flathead and pull the ribbon out

Some of the cables have the little latch thing, the others have a pull tab (so pull on it and not the ribbon).
