Motherboard is stuck in case.

Every component is unscrewed and taken off. I disassemble the odd unit to learn in case I need to do so quicker in the future. But this one is just eluding me. Any idea (preferably with some pictures for ideas) how to remove that motherboard without having to dremel the case off the back? I want to keep this thing in warranty and am just using it to train before I rewind and redeploy it.

Hi @shyranis

Here is the owner manual for the laptop.

Go to p.107 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the systemboard from the case.

I thought I commented. Yeah I followed those instructions but there was no way to get it unstuck from the motherboard even with everything completely removed. I can't pull the board forward or lift it up. It feels like it is going to break. I wish somebody had a youtube video of it.
