That looks like the connector in my Glo HD. I took it off with my fingernail under the end away from the wires and pulling up.

Many thanks. Did exactly what you said and it came off with very little force.

Double sided tape is covered in a pressure sensitive adhesive commonly called a "glue."

There is two common ways to release it without causing too much force.

One is heat, only from a blow dryer but you have to be careful if there is a screen or other heat sensitive items.

Another way is to add a few drop of alcohol to the adhesive. Works great on smart phone batteries and other components with built in attached with tape batteries.

And a electronic repair kit with different types of thin and thick plastic pry tools will make it all the better and prevent damage to the unit.
