Acer LCD case locked.. K-LOCK?..
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. |

The holes in many portable gizmos are for attaching an anti-theft leash to
them, so thet can't "wander off". I think the company that makes the security cables might be Kingston. Now you can secure these plastic-cased electronic devices to a counter/desk with an aircraft-grade cable. Cheers WB ............... "Chad Entringer" wrote in message ups.com... Hi guys..

@m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com: 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?. No. It is a slot for a security device to be installed. Screws could be under feet, plastic covers, labels, or under the keyboard. |
