| 612237 | 2007-11-17 05:34:00 | Hello. I purchased a new soundcard today, but I don't know how to go about removing the old one in my used up PCI slot. I don't want to break or damage anything so if anyone can help or direct me on how to do this, it would help! Do i have to unclick the green things? I can't seem to find a screw to unscrew, but I could be a bit blind?

I think they suck, but thats just me, Its easier to just have a screw, The one case I had that used them I removed them. |

| 612243 | 2007-11-17 05:49:00 | Maybe you pull them apart.. Lmao. As Speedy said, It cant be that hard, just give em a wiggle. |

| 612244 | 2007-11-17 05:49:00 | Well i unclipped the green clip... but now the back of the soundcard is just wobbly, it wont come out easily at all. :S |

| 612245 | 2007-11-17 05:54:00 | OK i got it out... but theres these wires attached to the back of it, not sure what to do there... | wodrolb (12916) | ||
| 612246 | 2007-11-17 05:59:00 | I spose theyre the wires for the speakers / mic ?? Unless its got SPDIF / the adapter for it or something on it as well. |
