Older ASRock LGA 775 motherboards have stuck standoffs.
Older ASRock LGA 775 motherboards have stuck standoffs.
Typically this happens because the screw is more firmly lodged than the standoff itself. I've encountered this when screws were cross-threaded, yet the manufacturer still used them. Secure the standoffs at their hex connection using tools like pliers, a wrench, or a vise, then attempt to pull the screw out again.
Thank you for your message. I followed your advice and everything came out as expected.
