Any Dell desktop users? Need your help

[copynpaste]

Im trying to clean my sisters dell desktop but I cant pop the cover off cause dell has these special screws for the black cover. They are perfectly circular - does anyone know what kind of driver would be used and where i could get one? I know its hard to desribe.

those aren't screws they're rivets, you can only take the sides off

Sure those aren't rivets? Dells usually come apart really easy, just press a couple buttons on the top/bottom and lift. They look like handles kinda. Got a model#?

As mentioned a few times now THOSE AREN'T SCREWS.

If this is what the back of her comp looks like....

See the backwards black "L" at the bottom right? Just below the fan?

I believe you push that up, and the side slides off.

yes but see those little shiny metal pieces at the top, he's asking how you remove those with a screw driver

I think he's just trying to get into the tower to clean it?

Yes it looks exactly like that. I tried pulling it from the sides, but it wont come off.

right..

we told you they aren't screws
another member told you how to take the cover off
if you can't do either, you really shouldn't be going inside the computer case
