My graphics card is not coming out

[kevinbas23]

Hello,
I bought a pre-built Acer Predator g3-710 this summer. Since the case that it came with had very little airflow, I decided to change the case. The only problem with this is that there is no mother board manual to show me what headers go where. So I am going to buy and I can’t seem to get my GTX 1070 out of the socket that it is in. I tried looking all over the internet and still could not find anything on my product that helps me. I tried looking for the little tab on the side of the slot and I could not find it. After a bit of wiggling around. I found that only one of the sides of the graphics card was coming out and not the other. If someone could please help that would be great.
Thanks a lot, Kevin

What end of the card won't come up? If it's the end towards the inside of the case, not the end with the HDMI/DP/DVI outputs, then that means there is a latch and you haven't opened it.

Those latches can be small, and it's common for a card to cover them so they are hard to see. What you could do is run a utility like Speccy, which will tell you what motherboard you have. Then you can find a picture of that motherboard online. Then you can see what the latch looks like and where it is exactly. You may need to use a tool to reach it, don't use anything metal. Use a plastic or wood thing if it comes down to that.
