Question Graphics Card stuck because of butterfly lever

[azurin]

Hello good people of Tom's Hardware!

I have this desktop PC where I wanted to remove the video card for cleaning accumulated dust. It's a small PC case and I didn't see there was a butterfly lever. Now most of the card is out, except for the small part that is stuck near the lever. I tried applying a considerable amount of strength to put in back into its slot, without any success. I've made my researches about such a situation but the only answers I've gotten elsewhere were "breaking the lever". With the card in it I'm none too confident about not damaging the card in the process. Does anyone has information on how I can remedy to the situation? Removing the card, sitting it back into the slot, etc.

Thank you very much for your time,
Azurin

Gently lift the tab with one hand while removing the card from the slot with the other. This isn't rocket science here.

I managed to get it out a few minutes after posting. You can delete this post, sorry I was simply running out of ideas after spending quite a lot of time on this.

Have a nice day.
