    I can't remove my Asus P5KPL-VM motherboard from my case. I've removed all the screws but it is stuck. It bends a bit when lifted on one side, but the other side wont budge at all. What am I missing?

    I checked the manual and these should be the only screws holding it and I made sure I took them out. Any suggestions as to what is keeping it stuck to the case?

    Ok, The Motherboard is Asus P3-P5G31 and the socket is 775, But Is this a desktop ? What Brand of computer ? Who make's the Computer case ?
    Did you remove both side doors ? Sometimes there can be a couple of screws on the back side holding down the motherboard... Can also be the CPU
    holder on the back..Did you remove all the PCI slot hardware if there is any?

    The motherboard is Asus P5KPL-VM and the case is Asus P3-P5G31. It is a desktop and it is an Asus brand computer. Asus makes the case. Only the other side door comes off, the other one is attached with rivets. I've removed everything except the CPU and the fan above it. The CPU fan is attached with the four holders in the pic, could those be holding the motherboard to the case?

    Ok. I'll remove the fan and if it still doesn't budge, I will propably just cut the other side of the case open. That way I can see how the motherboard is attached.

    You don't have to cut Anything, Just drill out the rivets..
