Hello. This is my first time ever trying to replace a fan, or anything on a computer, and I was wondering how to separate my 3-pin male and female ends.
My old fan has a 3-pin male that is soldered into a touchplate, and the other end is in a 3-pin female connector that runs to my old fan. I am trying to remove this fan, but I can't seem to get the 3-pin male and female connectors seperated. Are these soldered together, or are they supposed to come apart? There is a tab between on the male, but even if I press it in I can't pull them apart. Sorry I'm so bad at this, thanks.
