Can't get S2 DME apart
I can't get the circuit board out of the connector on the DME. I got the locking posts apart.
I tried releasing the tabs inside the connector but I can't get the board out!!!! I've been trying for 4 hours. I'm gunna break it pretty soon. I inserted paper clips and screwdrivers in the tabs and the center pin, but can't get it.
The arrows in the picture show where I've been pushing the screwdrivers and paper clips. Whats wrong???
Pics of connector after it's apart would be great. Any help would be apprecitated.

Pull the back end of the board up more and look for the tabs at the front to start to move up and back. Then manipulate the front two outer tabs you have marked in the picture till the board comes free and moves back and upwards out of the connector.

crikey, its been a while since I've done this, but as I remember, the clarks garage instructions didn't quite do the trick. I believe once you get a feel on the two outer releases by inserting a small flat blade screw driver and pushing outward, you can work the upper board back by angling it up. Once the upper board is out then the lower one comes right out. Again, its been quite a while. I also think light pressure from the front will help get the upper board loose.
Be gentle and work it from the ends. Good Luck!

OMG, I finally got it. I was just about to give up. You do have to push inwards on the tabs. The magic words were..............................PULL THE BOARD UP while pulling back. Cuddna done this without yall's help, thanks a trillion. Now I can really mess things up after I put the chip on my new eprom reader/writer.
