DDR3 ram stuck in place

[frogmaster]

I'm not sure what to do. I'm releasing the clamp on the right side (the left side is fixed) but the RAM stick does not move. I thought it should be pushed upwards and then be easily removable but I can't make it move at all after releasing the clamp.

I'm using Kingston PC-3-10600 DDR3 on an Asus P7P55 LX motherboard.

Wiggle the ends a bit while pulling upward, directly away from the slot, and it should come out.

I tried pulling it but it would not move in any direction. The problem is only a few millimeters are above the slot. Since I don't want to touch the faces with my fingers, I really don't have a good grip on the stick. Are they too fragile for me to use pliers to try and get them out?

Your fingers will cause less damage than pliers. You can clean the surfaces from your skin oils easier than possibly dealing with plier caused physical damage.

What is blocking the memory from easier access?

Nevermind, I managed to get it out with gloves and some force. Thanks for your help!

Glad you sorted it out. Have a great day!
