A light, well aimed spray of WD40. This is a "nothing-to-lose" machine.
With the clips snapped off, you have many options, not the least of which
entail an entirely new case, if this is a restore-job. Or, you can secure
the motherboard with pieces of foam-backed double-sided tape if it's just
a toy-for-you.
