You used oil, then a lighter, on the screw, in that order?

I find it amazing sometimes that motherboards/cases/cards can be so
durable-- I was brought up in the old school that insists on strapping an
anti-static band on your hand everytime you touch something, and to handle
your machine a bit like you're performing heart surgery, not like your
handling a diesel engine. Glad it works. If it was -my- machine, I would
end up frying the card by breathing on it wrong-- even though I do
everything by the book.
