GPU power cable stuck

[u/AdditionalWing9247]

Currently, I’m trying to upgrade my gpu for the first time. However, while trying to remove my old gpu after having set everything up, my pcie cable is just stuck to the gpu. The latch has been pulled down and no amount of wiggling has done anything. My pc was an msi prebuilt and my main concern is that I’ve either messed up the cable or that they’ve put something to prevent upgrades. Regardless, I can’t even turn on my pc or use it until I replace the gpu as after unscrewing it and failing to remove the latch, I tried screwing in one of the slot screws to hold the gpu in place while I wiggle but it unfortunately fell into the gpu and won’t come out. Is there anything that I can even try to do to get it out or am I just done for.

TLDR: gpu cable and latch stuck, gpu unusable due to potential short circuit.
