Re: Removing the video card from the ss 10.



I also use a (semi-) sacrificial chip puller like this:

Sacrificial because you are going to be bending it wider than intended of course...

It lets you get the card near the SBUS connector and helps give you consistent upwards pull.  My ss10/20 (with the latches of course) are pretty cramped and getting fingers in between cards (assuming multiple SBUS/MBUS card) isn't really gonna happen.

Push the ivory colored nylon latch at each of two corners back to
release? Lift the corners to disconnect the connector? 

Thanks for any tips,         ... P.
