VGA converter stuck to DVI port...
Now this moment is worthy of a 'OMFG' or a push of the PANIC button...
So I connected a DVI-VGA converter to a DVI port. It was the Apple version that came with the mini. It worked fine, except now it won't detach itself from the DVI port. To make it worse , one side is jammed to stay on and the other to stay off, so i got it stuck half and half.
To top it all off, it's stuck onto my 3850 on my PC. (I know, shoot me, sue me, hang me, it was the only converter that was there.)
So any idea how I can force it off, without ripping the card?

Or like sides you squeeze to release hooks?

It's the one with the two side 'screws' which are partly revealed, so when you turn them, the screws come out on their respective sides and in to the DVI port.
