ESQ-1 connectors

Hello,

Is there a trick to removing this type of connector? I pull until I am afraid it is going to break, and it won’t come off. I am trying to replace the power supply in my plastic case ESQ-1, and the specific connector is the one in the lower right corner. The close-up of the connector is the other end that connects to the display board.

Also, does the keybed need to be removed in order to replace the power supply?

All you need is a small screwdriver blade to separate the two connectors by prying a little on one side, then a little on the other, then back and forth until it comes off.

Pull on the connector, never pull the wires.

BUT FIRST MAKE SURE ITS UNPLUGGED!

and no idea about the other question.
