MQS connector - decoupling advice required

Hydra92 · 2025-10-03T06:05:40-0400

My first post here, hopefully I am in the right part of the forum.

I am trying to replace the USBC charger in the back of my X1 but am unable to decouple the light blue MQS connector that attaches to the module. I found a diagram of the connector and can see that there is a small lock holding it in place, but this is inaccessible.
How do I undo the connector? Is there a special tool required??

Advice appreciated.

Isn't the locking tab on the opposite side of what you have pictured? So your pictures are not helpful?

Just insert a small jewelers screwdriver or something similar in-between the plug and sock just above the locking tab and pull out the plug.

Small tab on the side.

So, problem solved. There is a small tab inside the socket that needs to be depressed to remove the connector. There is not much room between the socket and connector, I was able to push in a thin, flat metal pry tool, and gently pull on the connector and it popped out. Needed a bit of force to get the tool in.

On your first picture there is a small dot ???? on the blur near the metal if you push that in would that release the plug.
Was just a thought.
