AM4 Broken plastic CPU Bracket

That's a new one for me, never seen one of those break before. How on earth did you manage that?

I don't think OP wants to say.

Not at all , the metal lever was very hard to move and stuck to the underside of the board. I guess i was heavy handed trying to release it . The plastic shroud then split at the side, so i then took it all off as it was damaged anyways. Lesson learnt ive built my own PCs for over 20 yrs and this is a first for me as well. As mentioned i got the A520 on a black friday deal for £53 i think, its not the end of the world. When the Foxconn AM4 plastic shroud arrives i will try and repair but i'm not expecting it to be a success. I have just finished building my sons first PC this afternoon and i used a Prime B450M-k II a bit better specs than the broken A520 tbh.

I've done this before, you need to be very delicate to separate the two parts as you know the plastic is super brittle, i will admit my first try was not successful they just clip back together that parts easy,.

Is it just the clips that hold the lever down? I would try gluing something on to hold it down
