Drive PCB Continued

Press outwards on the 2 plastic retaining tabs
Gently lift PCB over tabs
Only remove these ribbon cables if you need to remove the entire PCB. These are friction fit ribbon cables. In my case, they have a piece of tape holding the ribbon to the connector
If your drive is "dead" this is where I would suggest replacing the electrolytic capacitors on the board. The Samsung [Ver. B] has 13 (9 Radial/4 SMD)
