So I got a hold of a Dell optiplex 780 Small Form Factor, which doesn't run very well (powers on, then nothing). I'm guessing the PSU's gone bad so I wanted to try it out with one I know works, but since it's Dell nothing will fit, so I'll have to do something original BUT to do that I need to get the motherboard out of the case.
I've been looking for videos on how to do it for half a day now, and the only manual I found was for a completely different computer than what it said. I removed all visible screws and detached everything going to the motherboard. I've removed anything that can be removed in the hopes of some little screw hiding, but nope, nothing. It seems like Cthulhu himself is sucking this thing back from under the board.
Anyone that knows what I'm going through, or got better luck in finding tutorials on this? (guessing there's no tutorial because it simply can't be done). Would hate to destroy the case just to try my fix out because I'd like to keep it, and buying a new PSU that might not even make it work sounds unnecessary.
