So when you press the top of it (to press down the ‘lever’) and pull the cable it won’t come out ?

just pull really hard with pliers straight out.. you will break the cable but not the port. do not pull from side to side or you will break the port

There is no enemy. The foe on the battlefield is merely the manifestation of that which we must overcome. The doubt, and fear, and despair. Every battle is fought within. Conquer the battlefield that lies inside you, and the enemy disappears like the illusion it is.

Could be a broken lever. Use a plastic tool to pinch the rear end of the lever (the one deep in the port) and press it down then pull the cable out.
