Removal of power supply Gateway DX4860

Hello, unable to remove power supply from Gateway DX4860. Removed 4 screws but something is still holding it and unable to see what it is. Any ideas?

Double face tape, some sort of mechanism inside the case that make it block ... Even if you pull it as hard as you can nothing happens ?

Hi --- I am at this very moment trying to do the same thing. 🙁 So far all I see is palecurve here on tomshardware else who had the same problem:

The Gateway instructions (found by Googleing "removing power supply") "point" to a 5th screw but I am having a hard time finding it.

Will let you know if I find anything else!

FOUND IT!!
Looking down at case lying on its side, there is a metal tab on the right side of the PSU which you simply push down to release....
Slides right out 😀
Thanks,

Thank you. I was finally able to get it out using a mini pry bar. I didn't see the tab so I had to do it the hard way.
