Yes, it's a 'handshake' of board n support/heatsink frame. Make sure to spread the circuit board when removing from the frame. Don't worry about the circuit board, it's very flexible, Not to mention, you gotta get around the center frame with the bigger parts when you pull them apart.
That's interesting. They appear to be repairable, if the damage isn't too bad..... if it's a multi-layer circuit board though, well, that kinda nixes that idea.
