    Backplate stuck ?

    Hello guys

    I used a Noctua U12P with my P5K for 3 years until 2 months ago.
    The problem is, I can't remove the backplate from my mother board and I don't know how to proceed without damaging it.

    Any tips ?

    Try some heat. Heat gun, or hair dryer.

    What screw? Have you dismounted the cooler? Then the backplate is stuck only because of the adhesion. Try heatgun or hair dryer to heat it up and take it out. Be careful not to go too close.
