Probably easy when you know how, but as I have just destroyed one, I thought I would ask.

They are in a Beocord 8004. The black connectors seem to just have the cables pushed in and come out easily . The white ones you have to wrench which breaks the connections to the board. is there a special tool??

Please advise.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the 8004, but normally there is a collar around the socket on the PCB that needs to be popped up in order for the ribbon to be removed/inserted.

 Maybe someone who knows this model better can advise.

Cheers,

Ben

Welcome to Beoworld !

Are you sure that the ones, you are looking at, are not just terminated cables soldered in ?

This is speculation. However, are you sure you have broken them?

I have just repaired a b&o vhs and whilst it maybe/is a rebadged unit made by someone else the system may be the same. The connectors for this remain mounted to the board and instead you pull the cable out and when putting a new board in or something the cable is re-inserted.

I thought that they were like the IDE cables on a computer and that you pulled the cable away leaving the male(?) socket on the board and taking the female(?) away with the cable. 

Hello Yes I have definitely broken one!

The cable is not soldered to the board. and the connector is in 2 halves. They are a bit like IDE connectors apart from they don't separate very easily The white part on the cable is almost like a spacer and the wire from the ribbon is the connector
