I bought a new graphics card for my computer and it won't fit. I searched it up online and it said I have to remove a metal cover plate if I have a acer desktop PC, which I do. I bought a HD 4650, and if it helps, the slot is green on my computer. So, what is a metal cover plate???????? HELP

It's probably talking about the plate covering the slot in the back of the computer. Is it the card itself that wont fit in the computer, or is it that the plate is covering the slot it's supposed to go in?

Edit: And I don't mean the slot on the motherboard.

Pics?

If so there is a screw you can unscrew.

The card kind of doesnt fit either.... I hope i didn't buy the wrong one. Also, with the graphics card came 2 metal things that look kind of what terash put up. The slot is GREEN.

Well post your computer DXdiag or computer manufacturer model

It'd be best if you gave us pictures. Those metal things cover up the slots in the back of your computer case that you have to put the back of your card in. They shouldn't be green, unless you're talking about the slot on the motherboard. If it doesn't fit in THAT, then you have a problem.

I searched it up, and I have a AGP slot. ( Which is why its green) and 2 PCI slots. I don't have a pci Express slot though, while my card requires one( Ati hd 4650) Am i screwed

If you've tried the slots and it doesn't fit, I'm pretty sure you are. Maybe you can return it and buy one that's compatible?

How do i return it...? I bought it off of newegg.com and UPS shipped it.

They have a 30 day return policy, call them up.

Newegg is good about this. You may have a restocking fee hit, but they should take it back. Especially if you are going to buy another one. Give them a call or send them an email.

Just make sure you have all the stuff that came with it to send back to them.

Since you have moved your conversation about this to another thread, I will close this one for you.
