<< raise. And the cool thing is I finaly got my 5.9 computer!! I get home
and
 pull the cable off the battery, then start to unscrew the computer
connector!!
 Its unscrewing and unscrewing and unscrewing and I notice Im not getting
 anywhere!! To make a long story short, I think the plastic Oring around the
 female end of the screw inside the computer is spinning with the screw and
 leaves me screwed!! Any ideas, suggestions, jokes!?!?
 Thanks guys!

Pull hard on the connector as you try to unscrew the screw, or even use a
(CAREFULLY!!) small screwdriver to pry the connector away from the computer
while unscrewing. What this does is put the screw in constant tension,
friction holds the "nut" inside the computer in place. I have done this many
of times!
