What the actual fuck did you do to it after you already fucked it? Try remove it with your teeth?

This happened some years ago on my x570-f. It has since been replaced, but I decided to share with macro image i took of the USB 3.0 internal connector 19 pin or whatever its proper name is. As you can see, I went through a great deal of trouble trying to get it out with pliers. Looking back at it, I could probably have screwed screws into it, but it doesn’t matter now.
I was switching cases when I had difficulty unplugging this connector. In my negligence, I decided to pull it out by the wire instead of wiggling the connector out like you’re supposed to. As a result, the pins were yoinked out and the header stayed in the mobo. Be careful with this connector guys! Anyways, enjoy the high res pic. Might as well upload it

yeah, that’s common sense

*Don’t pull any connector by wire.

But seriously, don’t ever pull ANY kind of plug/connector out of its socket by yanking on the wire. It will always break, even if not right away.

Don’t pull anything by the wire for fuck’s sake

No shit, Sherlock

Don’t pull your USB 3.0
When I make a new config, I leave the previous one “as is” and give it to somebody
NickMalo
Oh man- at least just the plastic connector came off. Ive had the entire usb 3.0 header release from the motherboard.

Dont pull out *any* cable by the cable.

Also, judging by the photo, don’t put them in blenders either.

I wouldn’t pull any connector by the wire. That’s pretty basic.

Don’t pull anything by the wire is generally good advice lol

I mean you shouldn’t be pulling at any connectors by the wires.
However fuck this connector in general, every PC case I have used for builds for people have the most stiff pain in the ass cable for this piece of shit connector. After having the USB C front panel connector on my current mobo is so much nicer and makes me wonder why this had to be so awful.
Capt_Blackmoore
somehow I managed to pull the whole damn socket off the motherboard. miraculously didnt damage the wires.

Also, that’s a usb 3.2 gen 1.

More importantly, don’t start gnawing on it and attacking it with a steak knife after you pull the cord out.

Dude, these things grip harder than a girl that can crush a watermelon with her thighs while having a seizure

Better yet, never pull any cable by the wire.
Interesting_Bison601
Don’t pull any cable anywhere by the wire…ever.
This is day 1 stuff man

It looks like you also raped the connector without its consent.
IntrovertMoTown1
lol FFS don’t pull anything by the wire. And that goes for shit outside of the PC world too. Enjoy your lesson in the school of hard knocks.

You actually can’t pull these out. People think they were designed to be removed, but clearly the manufacturer made these to bond with the motherboard on a molecular level. /s
unknown_ally
also don’t jam it in and bend pins like me. fuck this port
Panzerv2003
Yeah those things are probably the most fragile part in the whole pc, or at least the easiest to damage. Tho CPU pins are probably close but you need to really screw up to break them.
Skinny0ne
Never pull the wire always disconnect the plug properly.
SleepyOwl420
Let this man never near your USB internal connectors
