Getting ready to give my computer a long overdue dusting. Hopefully this will help keep my computer from bluescreening during the VRChat meetups

Well, two initial thoughts:
1) The HDMI mini adapter has apparently gotten permanently stuck/fused into the slot on my GPU. I hope I didn't damage anything while trying and failing to remove it >,<

2) The amount of dust in the computer is not as bad as I thought it would be, though there is still a lot

@Zauberin I know with the DisplayPort adapters at least, you have to squeeze a 'button' of sorts on the top of the connector itself in order to release the latch, to disconnect. Maybe that's what is happening with this HDMI connector? Just an idea.

@VK3VKK That's probably what happened. Looking at my graphics card specs online, it looks like it does have a DisplayPort
