I'm trying to get the usb 3 header off my motherboard but it won't budge I used way to much force and still nothing I have stopped trying to force it because I'm afraid I might break it

Hold the plastic down and pull straight up; don't pull up at an angle.

F**k it was a dead board but still

Pins seem fine, don't they? Just take the plastic piece off the cable and put it over the connector and it's all good!

I mean.. Except for the fact the connector is on a dead board I guess..

 

What I'm saying, is that if the pins are fine, the USB 3.0 connector is fine.

My Asus board does that aswell, you can take the plastic houising off just use a fine flat screwdriver and itll come apart.

 

Then just fir it back to the mobo
