Hi guys.. I am just getting my feet wet in LCD repair and came across
an acer AL1916 that i cant seem to open. there were only 2 screws that
i have seen and then also noticed a lock picture with a K .. there is
a small hole.. i cant see much down there i assume this is some sort
of security key?. I tried to pic down there with no results.. does
anyone know how to open these without a key if thats the case or are
these molded shut somewhere?.. thanks.


if they have a K they are most likely torx screws which you need a
special type of driver with a hollow tube in the center to fit around
the pin to turn them. go to a computer shop and ask for torx drivers
they will know what to give you (make sure you ask for the hollow
pointed tips)

hope this helos
