| 678353 | 2008-06-14 06:47:00 | Give wainuitech's suggestion a go. I've had sides that get jammed before and needed a bit of encouragement to be released. Putting a small flat screwdriver under the edge of the rear overhang of the side panel and giving a twist often helps. | Jen (38) | ||
| 678354 | 2008-06-14 06:47:00 | Was playing in a SA80 the other day there's just the two screws on the back holding the side, see if you can't use a screwdriver to force it open. Edit: Looks like wainuitech beat me to it |

| 678355 | 2008-06-14 06:48:00 | its only on tight - See picture in link below and my previous post, may pay to turn off the PC and disconnect the leads before doing it. Picture Instructions (www.imagef1.net.nz) | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 678357 | 2008-06-14 06:53:00 | At least you hadn't removed all the PSU screws in your endeavours to get the side off and had that drop down inside the case. :D | Jen (38) | ||
| 678358 | 2008-06-14 06:56:00 | At least you hadn't removed all the PSU screws in your endeavours to get the side off and had that drop down inside the case. :D No... that was my last PC :p But I had a decent excuse. We'd just moved house , and my then partner decided it was a great idea to stock the pc's in the garage, rather than lug them all the way to the house. About 9pm, she remembered, and went and got them. Plugged them in, turned the first one on, and you hear a nice boom, followed by a bit of smoke.... they obviously don't like the moisture. |

| 678359 | 2008-06-14 07:04:00 | Moisture and PC's dont usually go to well together. The voltage switch on the back of the PSU could have also been accidentally knocked to 110Volt. But the problem was simple - PC's run on smoke- some one let the smoke out - PC now no longer goes :crying :lol: |
