Hey everyone! I'm trying to upgrade my PC by removing the motherboard, but I've run into some trouble. I've already taken out all the visible screws, but there are some golden screws near where the WiFi antennas connect that seem stuck. I don't want to force anything and risk breaking something. Any advice on how to handle this? I've also linked some images for reference: https://imgur.com/a/PTGAwFF.

It sounds like those golden connectors you mention aren't screws that you can remove. They're likely the connection points for your WiFi antennas. If that's not what you're talking about, it might help if you upload a clearer picture.
Make sure to double-check that you've removed all the screws holding the motherboard to the case. Sometimes, screws near the I/O panel can cause it to stick. If you're still having trouble, start prying from the farthest side away from the I/O panel. Be gentle, though!
I think I saw a screw just under the RAM slots on the motherboard. You should check to make sure you haven't missed it, as that could be what's holding you back from getting it out.
Aha! I found it. Thank you so much for the tip!
Thanks! I’ll definitely upload another picture.
