You removed it?
You fool it’s LOOSE!
[Seems to come from this pc back](https://www.europc.co.uk/hp-envy-te01-1006na-desktop-grey-intel-core-i7-10700-16gb-ram-256gb-ssd-2tb-sata-6gb-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660s-dvd-rw-hp-1-yr-wty-149665.html)
perhaps to prevent people from using the apu rather than the gpu by mistake
It just a cover so that people don’t plug vga into motherboard and start to complain that they are not getting video to tech support.
It’s definitely a cover for the motherboard vga connector, so people wouldn’t mix it up with the gpu
the one you should not remove
RIP the internet
WELL WELL WELL!
They did the thing
It appears to be the part you shouldn’t remove
Do not remove
Someone was very naughty
If you removed it, we can’t help you
Oh no
r/OneJob
it is a thing to cover the VGA port of the mobo, to prevent a stupid user of that HP to plug their monitor in the mobo VGA instead of the GPU HDMI
Oh no! Why would you do that ?! God have mercy on all of us….
Wait why did you remove it?
I am pretty sure you shoudn t have this
Whatever it was, you removed it.
It’s a cover for the VGA connector to avoid people getting no video out.
Some of these computers (usually HP Pavillions with AMD chips in my experience.) have a CPU that has no onboard video, so that requires a seperate video card to be used for display output.
The VGA cover is to tell the user to ONLY use the video card that comes included with their system.
DO NOT REMOVE. Literally in caps and you remove it 😭
You would know if you didn’t remove it
protocol breach
And that’s how a zombie apocalypse started. Something that supposed to be closed is now open. Ty PO for the apocalypse!
My previous comment got removed because of the stupid google link shortner deprication.
Yes, you are correct; that is indeed a VGA port cover.
I think I have found the exact one:

Hamburger griddle press?
Shouldn’t have removed it. Now we gotta alert the Feds.
You had one job…
That’s known as a crappy computer detector. If you have one it means you need a new PC.
It’s there when you have a dedicated GPU when you bought the pc new, and that cover is to ensure you don’t use the wrong GPU

Why? Why would you remove it?
Why did you remove it? It says ‘do not remove’ /s
It’s for dummies.
