You've done it! The graphics card simply tilts up 45 degrees and slides up out of the MXM connector, heat sink and all. I'm glad I could see just how well engineered this piece of Apple hardware is.

In the second photo you can see the replacement graphics card (Apple part #661-5135) I got from Impact Computers in Florida. It's a drop-in replacement. Even the adhesive foam and thermal sensor are already in place. In fact, you better not turn your back or you may forget which is which!

You World of Warcraft players out there might agree my son and I thought the old video card makes a pretty authentic-looking Gnomish 1H axe. Glory to the Alliance! :-)
