    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

      That seems to be the flex cable from the display, just pull upwards with a bit of force because those things are usually glued on the underside, after the flex is free you can unplug the cable from the T-CON board.
      Pics would help.
      Guns don't solve problems. I'll take 12

          Also, after I unplug it, how do I plug it back in without it being a pain in the rear?

              I figured it out on my own. There is this silver panel with a screw that is SO HARD to get out. I FINALLY got that screw out and unplugged the cable. Thanks for the help anyways!
