I had that problem on my hauppage Nexus CA, too.
You have to remove the tin box by soldering.... You will definetly loose your 
guarantee.
However i did the soldering two times and the card is working fine.
It's enough to solder at  the four pins of the box. With a little bit force 
you can bend the connector pins and remove the cover on the underside.

Before you start soldering remove the card holder by make one rivet away.

Good luck
