CPU plastic shield not popping out

[Rodrigo22]

Greetings everyone.

My problem is the following: the plastic shield doesn't pop out. The CPU is properly placed, the handle offers strong resistance, as expected, but the plastic cover, regardless of the mentioned above, doesn't pop out.

What should I do ? I am afraid to damage the CPU. Any advice ?

Thanks in advance.

just pull it out with your hand and dont worry about it. also dont worry applying some force while turning the retention arm when you are closing the socket.
what CPU do you have?

The make and model or motherboard/cpu may help There is little information here we can work with to give you a proper answer. Some of the dell prebuilts have pretty extensive cooler housing. Not really sure what you are working on.
