Removing IIgs power supply



Hi all,

This is a stupid question I know. I think I've even done this once or twice. 
How do you disconnect the power supply connector from the GS motherboard? 
Are there any things you squeeze together to make it easier, or do you just 
have to pull/wiggle the thing until it comes free? I'm blind, so that might 
have something to do with why I'm just not getting it.

I may have blown a PSU in my GS. I turned it off to remove the card from my 
Microdrive to put something new on it. Got done with that, put the card back 
in the Microdrive, closed it up, turned it on, and... nothing. No speaker 
pop, no bonk, no 5.25 floppy trying to boot. Not even any noise from the PSU 
when I turn it off. I just happen to have another PSU laying around so 
thought I'd just replace the thing. Power strip is good, power cord is good, 
etc. Even plugged the power cord into the replacement PSU. When turning off, 
it does the strange whistly thing it does when you turn off a PSU that 
doesn't have a load. The one currently in the system seems to just be dead. 
And yes, I've tried removing all cards from the system.
Thanks for any advice! I don't want to succeed at pulling the cable out, 
only to discover I've ripped a pin or two off the mobo!
