How to open a Tiny compter

Jazzycat

Hi,

a neighbour has a problem with their Tiny pc and they need to change the modem card. They have a replacement and I have just tried to remove the cover - removed the back panel screws but still cant work out how to free the cover.

Please help!
thanks

I think the sides slide away on these If I remember, think you just need to under the screws on the side....memory not clear on that bit though !!...might be screws on the back and the side

If I remember rightly, Tiny computers were opened via clips and actually sliding the panels off, rather than just unscrewing and removing panels.
You may need to ease the clips with a flate nosed screwdriver.

Hope that makes sense.

With mine I had to take of my front panel and then slide the sides forward.

Jazzycat

cant see any clips holding the panels in place, so might be taking the front panel off option.

How do you get the front panel off?

thanks

PS I'm sure its not with a tiny screwdriver! lol

can you get your hand up at the bottom of the front..and old IBM tower i had had a release handle up there....and everything slide forwards..

if the back of the case where the screws go wrap round from the sides to the back then the case cant slide forwards as that would stop it..

Option 1.
A very big sledgehammer.:j

Option 2.
Can't remember that well but there may be clips for the front panel accessable from underneath it.

Option 3.
If there's no screws on the back of the machine and the casing is one piece, there's a fair chance the whole top/sides casing slides towards the back.

Damn! You beat me to it!

My front panel just popped off... There were no clips or screws to be undone. I just grabbed it by either side (the sides stuck out slightly from the sides of the case) and slowly pulled.

Jazzycat

the side panels are separate so they must come off separately. Cant see any clips underneath.

The case appears flush at the front to the sides

PC is about 6 yrs old and had a version4.3 manual. But that has no info on the actual pc and hardware

Boy this is frustrating!
