You’re trying to remove your NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT but aren’t seeing a unlock clip. The blue tail you noticed is likely the PCI Express slot, indicating it’s still connected. Check if there are any other steps or tools needed to safely take it out.

You just broke something—what should you do next?

It seems like you're expressing uncertainty about something being released or no longer secure. Maybe it's just not locked up anymore?

I think you might have pushed it a bit too far. Don’t stress—this is just a tiny safety clip. Make sure the card fits snugly in the slot when you need to reuse it, and verify it if you plan to relocate the PC.

It's hard to fix this situation. You might have pushed too much force, or the plastic has become too fragile because of age, or both. Even today, PCIE slot locks can sometimes fail. It shouldn't cause any issues as long as your GPU is properly seated and you use the bracket screws. My old PC lock also broke eventually, but it worked fine for about ten years.
