Removing Scythe Ninja backplate

[Mabrito]

What would be the best way to remove the backplate of the Scthe Ninja since the adhesive is pretty strong and dont want to risk damaging the motherboard?

Crap, many motherboards have been killed this way (Including mine).

Use a credit card or something else slimilar and carefully just run it through.

I have heard that heating the backplate up with a hair dryer first helps to loosen up the adhesive a bit, and makes it quite a bit easier to remove. Might want to give that a try.

I had to soak a board in ALCOHOL for about an hour, heat it with hairdryer and THEN pry it loose with a credit card...

So holding a hair dryer over of the motherboard to heat up the backplate wont damage the motherboard then?

don't try to melt it, just get it warm
