Now I've finally joined the club I'm binge watching and reading everything Zombieverter related.
Has anyone found a cheap de-pinning tool for these connectors?
Asking for a friend who may have pushed in a red cable where he intended to push in a black cable.

Simple picks are fine just take off the connector cap the orange bit. The retention clips are quite big so a tiny screw driver or pick works in my experience.

the top and bottom plastic retaining pins are very soft plastic and are easily damaged, the proper tool below works 50% of the time, if you hear a click when pressing it in, you have a chance on extracting the pin/wire

Thanks mate
I saw that tool for sale but didn't fancy paying for it so followed your bad example and de-pinned the offending sockets with a jewellers screwdriver.
It was way easier than I first thought it would be.
