I got a free eMachines monitor from work and I'm trying to restore it, except I can't find any screws on the outside of my case to open it. Any ideas?
Is dit een goede vraag?

It's the same as the HX2000 but with a smaller screen. I just scrapped it (after years in semi retirement, no HDMI port is a issue for me because I need an adapter) due to a major panel failure, nor do I still have mine as I scraped it a while back. The basic procedure is to stick something thin behind the bezel in the gap to disengage the clips. You can get the rest by pulling forward once you get most of them. You will probably scar it, but you got it free; don't worry if you mar it, you usually end up marring these 9 times out of 10 anyway. These are all 15 or so years old now, so you can't make it worse.
This is why I no longer have my HX2000:

Thank you very much! I was able to get it open. The screen itself works fine but I want to retrobrite the case.
@thecommodorefan Yeah, the panel kills these old monitors :/. Mine had the Samsung LTN panel, so I was dead in the water being CCFL+No HDMI+Samsung LTN premium.
Given the factory eMachines logo is gone and the data label is toast, I'd probably just find a matte white spray paint and be done with it.
