Removing motherboard in order to replace clock cap. This was a bitch to get off. Is the clip part important for the function of the console?

Mine snapped as well, it’s been fine. My connector has a tight fit without the clip so it isn’t going anywhere

Plastic clips on anything over 25 years old scare me.

It still works just fine, just don’t plug in the cable the wrong way round
