"Hey! My name is Kyle Hodge and today I am going to be explaining to you how to un-install and install motherboards. Okay, after you have removed the RAM, move down and take out any of the expansion cards that you have installed inside of the board, AGP, PCI, PCI Express; all of them must be removed. This is when you get to use a screwdriver. When removing screws, make sure and set them aside for later because you will need them to re-install the components on the new motherboard. The HEB card has a similar latch to the RAM slots; push it down, it will help pop the card out. Remember you only want to remove the card with both hands. Be sure and put any expansion cards in anti-static bags as well. Usually in the lower right hand area of the motherboard, you will find the power, reset, the hard drive, LEB and the power LEB connectors. You want to go ahead and remove those now. "
