Can anyone give me clear instructions as to how to remove this heatsink? It is supposed to be tool-less. The manual gives the same instructions for this one as it does for the "blazing" m2_1 slot but the heatsink designs are not at all the same and I'm not seeing a button

If it helps, I'm referring to the slot by the RAM. Thanks for any insight you can provide!

The manual says push and hold. There is a tiny arrow indicating where

"push the round button to the left and hold"

It does say that, thanks. However, there is no round button on m2_2.

It's the heatsink between the RAM and the ATX connector.

That heat sink is held on with screws in the two shallow holes on top of the heat sink.

The Taichi Lite manual is just a renamed regular Taichi manual so some of the directions for the Lite will be wrong.
