Are you sure it's stuck? 24 pin connecters are pretty tough to remove and the amount of force it requires makes it feel like you're going to break your motherboard

Make sure you're pulling the locking clip while you're applying force. Another helpful tip is to use your other hand to hold the board on the top and bottom of the connector so you don't break the board. The pins are sometimes VERY tight in there. Try pulling out, and applying force up and down so you can try to wiggle it loose. DONT be affraid to use a little force.

Seems like the board will break, Oh well for any other guys having this problem this post for reference. Thanks guys

Try it little by little with putting a thin screwdriver right between edge of plug and the adapter onboard. That way you can work it out slowly on several points without pulling all.

Make sure to not bend the material.

Yea don't do that, if u slip you risk severely scratching your motherboard.

connectors such as the 24pin, 4+4pin and GPU connectors; should have clips on them. Ensure you are pressing on this fully before u attempt to remove/pull the connector out.

Ones like 24pin can be a bit stiff, try a slight rocking back and forth motion while holding down its clip and attempting to pull it out. And put one hand to grip the motherboard edge, so you are not having all the stress be on the motherboard while attempting to remove such connectors.

yup , if you scratch the MB you run the risk of severing a trace on the Mb , or several ,and you will end up with a dead MB.

sometimes you need to push down on the connector to get the clip to release then pull up on it by slightly rocking it a bit.

So you both raher want to bend and pull on the motherboard instead of carefully lift bit by bit of just the plug with a fine screwdriver, causing no stress for other material than the stuck plug?

I would have broken several motherboards or grafic cards pulling a bad plug.
So i recommend lifting the plug.

You make sure to not do a force that could in any way cause a movement of scratching. Common sense.
