I recently obtained a new FlashForge Finder yesterday and managed to print three models successfully. When printing the fourth model today, the FlashForge Finder’s nozzle got stuck and no PLA filament could pass through. After some searching, I found that FlashForge posted a video (Flashforge Finder - Unclog the extruder 34) on how to take the extruder apart and unclog the extruder. However, these instructions are for the first version of the FlashForge Finder and I have the second version of the FlashForge Finder. I initially tried following these instructions but after removing the three screws from the top of the extruder, I cannot remove the extruder cover as there is some part holding it down yet in the video the extruder cover is removed easily. Are there any instructions available for the second version of the FlashForge Finder for taking the extruder apart?

It turns out that the data cable caused the extruder cover to get stuck. After pulling with more force on the extruder cover side closest to the data cable, I was able to remove the extruder cover. The remaining instructions for the first version of the FlashForge Finder can then be followed as the steps are the same for the second version of the printer.
