Removing video card from e520 (it's stuck????)

[imported_dantes]

ok, well i know this is ambarassing but i am stuck

last system i build myself included gf 2 , anyway

card is gf 7300 LE (standard dell e520)

so i opened the case, removed the screw holding the card to the case, removed the dvi cable, pulled the plastic thing on the other side of the card (at the buttom).

trying to get the card out but it can be loser/moved around but it's not coming out; as if something else is keeping it there

i looked around and i absolutely do not see anything.

i think there is something that;'s keeping the card in place on the same side where the screw is keeping it to the case but at the buttom

anyone has any advice? i tried shaking it side to side, same , no dice

thanx🙂

You might have to keep constant pressure on that plastic tab at the rear bottom of the card.
Some slide out of the way, but some are like pressure springs that need to be pushed "while" your lifting your card out.

Good luck.

Are you sure it's an E520? From what you've written, it sounds like you had to remove a screw, and from what I remember, the newer Dells are for the most part, toolless cases.
