yes you do have to remove this cable it just pulls out but when you are putting it back in the female ie the the socket has a flap which flips up to insert the cable easily(be carefull i used a small precision screwdriver) or you wont get it in i suppose this would probably be the best way to remove the cable-just gently ease the flap up look at it in very good light and you will see it latches when shut i hope this help dont blame me if you break it blah -blah blah--disclaimer but this is the way to remove this cable..
