I'm a little worried about tugging too hard on it, and neither out (ie, toward the edge of the iRiver) nor up seem to work at all.

If anyone's got a suggestion i'd love to hear it - my h340 has been sitting in pieces for the last two days.

Its hard to pull out. Here's what worked for me:

Flip the device over, molex side facing down, and you'll see just the base of the molex from the other side and the wires coming out from it. Use a fine flathead screwdriver and push the base of the molex (as opposed to trying to pull it from the opposite side. Once it is loose, then you can pull it from the other side again. Hope it works.
