How do you remove the motherboard on a computer?

Answer 1

Step 1: Open the case and discharge any static by touching something metal.
Step 2: Disconnect all the wires in the case to get the m out of the way. Be sure you know how to get them all back in the right way.
Step 3: Remove all the expansion cards such as video cards, sound cards, and network cards.
Step 4: If your power supply is top mounted, it probably blocks the motherboard. If it does, remove it. Most bottom mounted PSUs don't cover the motherboard.
Step 5: Turn your case on its side so the motherboard is on the bottom.
Step 6: Take the heatsink off the CPU. Remove the CPU.
Step 7: Take out the RAM cards.
Step 8: There should be a number of screws holding the motherboard in. Unscrew them.
Step 9: GENTLY lift the motherboard out BY THE EDGES, not the back or front.

Note that everything in your computer connects to the motherboard, so if you replace it be sure that everything is compatible.

Answer 2

There is a little clip that holds it in. Look at the circle, at some point around it,you will see

a small clip, you push it away from the battery and it will allow the battery to come out.

Now, when you touch a motherboard, you are suppose to wear a anti static strap,

and remove all power from the motherboard.

If you do not know what I am referring to then please do not do it as you could damage the motherboard.

Read your manual before you attempt this. It will explain it.
