Sometimes removing the connector from its socket isn’t enough—an additional step or two is required to free up the cable. Here we have a ribbon cable that is lightly glued into place.

To remove it, carefully slide a spudger or opening pick under the cable to separate its adhesive.

For particularly delicate or stubborn cables, a little heat from a hair dryer, heat gun, or our handy iOpener will help soften the adhesive.
