Changing an eMachines video card?

I have an eMachines ET1331-02. I haven't changed any hardware yet. I went in to change the video card, and there was a panel in the back blocking the place where the output should be. Does anybody have any clue how to remove that?|||Those panels are removeable, some unscrew while others pop out. The pop out ones cannot or usually cannot be put back, once the space is opened.

You say you went in to change the card, if you have a card already installed, then you can use the same slot in the back. Unless you got a differenty type of video card, meaning you might have had a pci card and bought a PCI-e card. They are different.

But if you are running with the on board video, no card, then you pop off one of the slot panels, unscrew or just pry off. and then put your video card in.

I don't know how the EMachine is set up, so I can't say for sure if there is any other panel in the way.|||Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ILrq7lMe…|||there should be a screw of some sort which can either be unscrewed or pulled out. After that you should be able to pull it out and it should just pop off.
