GPU got stuck in MOBO

[Cyberspirit]

Guys I feel like such an idiot right now I wanted to get my video card out so I can do a big cleaning but it got stuck halfway in there.

The locking mechanism just locked the card's front in the port and I can't even push it back in. 

 

End my suffering please.

so you cant even get to the locking mechanism?

take a BBQ wood skewer. stack them (like 5 will be enough) tape them together, slide under the gpu, over the lock. And push down as hard as you can. It will be way easier to unlock. Good luck

Well I can't really get a good shot because of my CPU cooler but here you go

Oh thank heavens I was able to pop it out by pushing the card and the lock at the same time. I REALLY hope nothing broke though... I just wanted to clean my PC 

 

Thanks for the suggestions
