ccokeman Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Try some acetone. I have had to resort to using it on some of the video cards I have done lately. Then clean with some 91% rubbing alcohol to clean that off. It works wonders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Yank hard and stick a knife under. First he's not trying to take it out, he's trying to clean it. Second that will damage both the MOBO and the chipset so do not do it. As ccokeman said use some acetone and alcohol. Nail polish remover might work as well.
