Re: Dell OptiPlex GX270 - multiple bad cap failures



Does anyone know of a tool, technique, or a "how-to" to remove the cpu heatsink plastic-stand assembly thing from the gx270 motherboard so as to avoid breaking the plastic retainer push-pins. The metal backing plate is preventing me from accessing the solder connections, and I don't see a way to remove it without breaking these retainer pins.

TIA...
