Trouble Removing Motherboard Standoff Screw

Asked By TechWizard42 On

I'm having a tough time getting my motherboard out of this budget case. I've removed almost all the screws, but now I'm stuck on the last one on the far left side. When I try to unscrew it, the standoff screw turns too. I heard a click sound after some turning, and now I'm right back where I started. Is there any solution I can try at home?

Try taking out the other screws first to free up the motherboard. Once it's loose, you can use a pair of pliers to grip the standoff and twist it off. It might take some force, but this should help you get it out.

If the standoff is stuck and you can't get to the back because of that big metal piece, you might need to find a way to remove the obstruction first. Maybe there’s a panel or something you can take off to access it better.
