Any idea on how to unplug this son of a bitch?

I have been trying for 40minutes now... wiggling, pulling, prying,... even with tools it wont even budge. I used so much force that I am still surprised I have not crushed it or ripped it off.

It even took skin off my fingers...

 

The other 4 connectors were ez pz to unplug... no idea whats up with this one.

    Use a flat head screwdriver or pliers

    You should be able to use a small flat head screwdriver from the other side.

    If it is the type I'm thinking of, the other side should have a cutout and the connector part inside will have to prongs that look a bit like arrow pointing at the PCB.

    You should be able to push the screwdriver under there and twist it a bit.

    Unfortunately, pliers don't work on that sucker and I tried flat screw driver but I only have two tips and both are too wide and thick for the gap... Dang it!

    Maybe a knife could work? Probably depends on the shape of the blade. Or a needle?

    Hmm, I'll try. I may be able to find better tools but I have to rumble trough a lot of stuff first to get to it.

    I have been delaying buying iFix it kit for so long... now I am stuck with basic "bad" tools, my father took most of them with him for work and he won't be returning any time soon.

     

    Knife may work, I'll try.

    First choice would be pliers with a big head on them, needle nose pliers would be second choice.
