While attempting to troubleshoot a RAM problem on my 02, the plastic lever that is used to eject the system board broke off taking a good chunk of the outer plastic with it.

Now I am wondering, what is the safest way to get the system board out?

Crikey... that's something I've often been afraid of. Everything on the o2 outer shell is so fragile, I was wondering about the main motherboard plastics. It's hard to say what to do ... hopefully you an find a way to pull it out. If theres nothing to grip on to, perhaps screw-in a VGA cable and use that to pull. Not sure!
