O2 mainboard wedged in place
Hi, 

I was given an O2 that is known not to boot, however when I went to work on it I reached for the lever to pull out the main board and it is missing.  Furthermore it won't budge with the amount of force I've so far dared to apply.  I tried removing the shell and other components like the HDD and option card, but of course the chassis is too well built to allow me to get a lever onto anything but the fragile black plastic rear of that module which creaks alarmingly but doesn't move.

Is there a trick that can be used to pull one of these out if it is stuck? I assume that a previous owner tore off the lever trying to get it out. 

I did try powering it on and got an amber light, so it might be saveable, and I did remember to unplug the power before doing anything else to it, I just can't get the mainboard out to try anything.
