How do I take my video card apart?

I want to change my video card but then the problem is that the whole taking the current video card inside is just too pathetically complex for me. Which parts do I unscrew or something?How do I take my video card apart?
Honestly, it isn't a difficult operation since you typically remove the screw from the backplane that holds the card in place, disconnect any wires - noting where they connected! - and firmly, but gently, lift the card out of the slot.



You generally reverse the process in replacing the card but what do you intend to do when it begins asking about drivers or if there is a problem?



If you're this nervous about performing this bit of surgery however I would recommend that you have a family member or friend who is computer savvy do this for you or pay for the service. It isn't that difficult BUT you can damage components if you aren't careful.How do I take my video card apart?
just pull it
If you think taking a video card off is pathetically complex, you shouldn't be getting near the insides of the system.
get help from someone who is familiar. You could really mess up if you don't know how..
Make sure the top of the retaining bracket has the screw removed, if it has one. If there is a latch on the socket holding the card in, release it while you pull the card out. Latches are different. Some have a pull tab and others a lever. Sometimes it is easier said than done. Some force may be needed but don't use too much.



Unplug the computer before you do it.
If it seems as if it won't budge, simply get a pair of locking-jaw pliers, grab it, secure it and start at the bottom with a large claw hammer and/or chisel until loosened.



If something happens to ';fly off'; it in the process, keep an eye on where it went, get it and simply use household caulking to put it back into place. Superglue sometimes works too. If you can't figure out where the piece goes, no problem. Just do what mechanics do and save it in a paper sack somewhere.
The first question is, do you have a video card or is the video built on to the motherboard? If you are concerned about doing it, hire a professional. It is simple for someone who does it every day and most will guarantee their work so you don't have to worry about causing more problems. Are you sure your video card is bad? There could also be other problems.
