I bought a Novatech PC in Dec 2004 (Nero Pro ATI). With the standard PC case that was provided at the time

I now want to install a new CPU fan but I am unable to remove the motherboard from the PC case, to enable me to complete the install.

Can someone help with instructions on how to remove the motherboard.

There is a Green handle to one side of the Board that looks like a lever, but I cannot budge the motherboard or the lever.

so you want to remove the motherboard
you unscrew all the screws (i would guess)

Fixed it.

Spoke to support via webchat... The motherboard did not have any screws. It was attached to a backing plate, that needed to be removed.

By using the green handle on the right, the motherboard slid out. A bit of leverage was needed to budge the plate, but after that I was able to remove the m/board.

The M/board then unclips from the backing plate.

Brute Force and Ignorance always helps.

Yer, I had to use a hydraulic hammer to get mine out.
