I've read through Q&amp;A's and understand that the screws that open the back aren't screws, they're latches. Don't know what that means. Do I use a scr

it means that instead of turning the screw around and around in one direction, it only turns 1/4 turn. if you try to force it more than that it could break/

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

bring it to only hardware store, if you have the screws you can match the proper ones, if you don't just see which ones screw into the threaded holes. anyone at any hardware store had been more than helpful to help me find what I'm looking for. so don't be afraid to ask for some help.

I don't know to be honest. It looks like most of the debri is on the outside. I didn't see any obvious way to open the back and don't have the owners manual handy.

For other screws I'd recommend a reverse screw, though these are so small.. perhaps that could end disastrously. Alternative methods are going to be a challenge because the screws are set so deeply. Have you tried stretching a thin rubber band or disposable glove material over the provided screwdriver tip for added grip? I'm curious as to how you stripped the stock screws! I've replaced my screen twice and disassembled my phone dozens of other times to manually charge my battery (while waiting for a replacement USB charging port), yet the involved screws are in near-perfect condition.

Retaining Latch. Its more a small plastic insert to hold the ssd against the connectors before screwing it into place. There are small screws along the side to hold it in better. On an unrelated note its usually better to switch the hdd into the caddy and put the ssd in the main spot, if the main slot is sata3 and the cd drive is sata 2

I had the same question when I first opened the package containing the enclosure. The tiny screws weren't installed, but I couldn't figure out how to open it, so I came here to see what worked for other people. What worked for me was just giving the enclosure a slight 'shake' while holding it horizontally (holding the sides of the enclosure, not the top and bottom). That caused the metal bottom to fall out, then I easily removed the top. It's one of those things that once you see how it's done, it makes perfect sense. But until then, it can leave you scratching your head.

You will need to turn the screw heads down slightly by placing the screw in a drill and holding a file against the screw head until the original screw will go into these. The original screws are one size larger than these or you vould use some Elmer's glue and a couple tooth picks. These locks are absolutely the best thing since peanut butter. I found a couple of SS screws the same size as my oringials and turned the head down just enough that they would fit inside these new locks. We did not want to mess with the guitar as it is a custom shop and very high dollar. This is very cheap security and we have since installed on our units.

Well. Depending on how u mounted and to what, I'd pry off wall then cut open back with grinder. May be able save box that way. The locks on these are kinda cheap, is try to put code in with something that U can really push the correct numbers in with. (Meat skewer) just to make sure ea number is fully actuated. Sorry those are the best answers I have. When all else fails grinder will cut it open.

Best that I can remember is I used a long wood screw through the back; can't remember if there is whole in the back or I made one. I don't think it was too complicated, but that's all I remember.

I agree with Tim. They're great product. Four small screws and they're out. However, I recommend you just press the switch on the latch part to avoid having to use the magnet (you will see a green sticker). That disengages the latch so it opens and closes freely.

Hi Diane H. - Remove the 3 screws - latches located at TAX- CI/C & 1 0 on left side .TAX switch M- & - = on right side . Lift top up LCD part , a little , Twist the two halve in opposite first latch , Push to side get the other , separate halves . Battery AG13 / LR44 what ever . Look at battery , in center is a little tab pushing on top of Battery , when done make sure it's there Push battery out LCD side , not over the circuit board , may need to bend tab on side of battery holder , replace battery note + & - are right , Also note little tab on top of battery holder bend side tab back to , after installing Battery - reassemble.

Lol, i had the EXACT same problem when i put my first 9 Volt in. I just monkeyed with it now. Basically, make sure you put the top side in first (Push in and up), then swing the bottom half into the latches. It feels a little weird, but it snaps perfectly into place with little to no effort. Give it a try a few times and you'll get it.

If I recall correctly, I needed to replace my broken inside latch so I bought one like the picture. It fit fine but the rod connecting the two latches was different. It was flat, not square like the original therefore unusable. So I decided to buy a complete new assembly. This inner latch matched and worked perfectly but the outer plate wasn't made for a dead bolt. So I just left the old plate with the old dead bolt (it's not pretty but works well). My new latch has a lock on it so I now have a double lock on my door. I guess I wasn't as lucky as the other guys with matching parts. I hope this isn't too confusing but it worked for me.

I bought this MOBO since december 2009, I know the holes that receive the screws are made with a kind of non conductors to avoid short circuit from the case(the same purpose for back face plate), I don't remenber if back face plate came in because I didn't use it, trust me you can buy this board, or ask the seller

I have not sold one of these yet on amazon. I do not know, the only thing i can suggest is to try and remove stripped screws with channel locks or pliers and put new screws in it. Sorry i do not know what else to do.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.
