Did you also try putting it back in again?

Back in my early days of fixing up people's PCs, reseating cards was
often needed.  Few cases were rigid enough to hold cards firmly in
place, and if the box was moved they'd often get yanked out slightly.

Things would often fail after a system upgrade.  They'd taken the box
out of it's usual cubby hole, slightly cleaned it, then went to do
their upgrade, and it had gone cactus.

Thermal expansion and contraction would also walk some out of their
sockets.

I was glad when better cases started to be the norm, and without stupid
price tags on them.  Apart from the better build, I wasn't getting my
knuckles shredded by all the sharp metal edges on the inside.
