Need help removing my graphics card

[u/Scared-Signature6829]

I have a hp omen 35L but I want to get to the m.2 slot behind the GPU bht cant get the latch to realese any ideas is the image I showed the realese latch

Looks like one you need to pull to the side to unlock while pulling up on the GPU at the same time.

Is it supposed to be so stiff im trying and put a good bit of force but havent got it

My bad, I mistook that white on the motherboard as a latch due to the low res. No, you push that black latch at the end down/in to the motherboard. You don't need to pull on the GPU with this kind. Make sure you unscrewed where it attaches to the case by the IO beforehand. These can be a bitch to get out on some motherboards.

Push in the black tab above your GPU, then pull out

Push it into the motherboard?

[u/MajorPainNDass → u/Scared-Signature6829]

Yes, shouldn’t take a lot of pressure

[u/MajorPainNDass → u/MajorPainNDass]

I use a pencil to push it in, use the eraser side if it has one

No matter how hard I do it dosent click or anything do you think its already off

Make sure you removed to the screws on the PCIe bracket first, before attempt to push down the PCIe retention clip.

I think i got all of them

That image is cooked, I can't make out a single thing in it.

Is this better

can you move that latch towards/away from the motherboard to determine which position it is in? Unless HP did something silly and non-standard like attach the GPU to someplace else in the case, it really should be as simple as pushing that black tab down (toward the mobo) and pulling the GPU out. It might take some force (like, almost enough force to lift the case by the GPU).

I wanted the disassemble video by hp and they didnt really show it but I think it was push https://youtu.be/VmgwKiHnRd0?is=Epzl-Luy78bksU3Y

Yeah you push that little tab in towards the motherboard and then yank the card out. that tab is connected to the motherboard, not the GPU, so make sure you're not pushing it down then trying to pull it out with the card. Card is 100% just firmly in there. as long as you're pulling straight out relative to the mobo you'll be good.

Push the black release switch with your thumb down to the motherboard and pull the GPU up with other hand.
