So without reading the instructions on how to open a dell dimension 8400 case I decided to pry the shit out of the case with my hands.
The result was lots of blood and a broken case.
Just a PSA to slow the fuck down when dealing with electronics and READ INSTRUCTIONs if they are available.
Do not be me.
What is worse, is now I can't open the case and it is completely f!@&rdped.
I also pulled off the wrong side. Now the two buttons I am supposed to push (bottom and top) are misaligned with the rest if the case. I can not open the right side anymore. It's jammed shut.
Jammed shut:
So I decided to try prying off the correct side, and just to my luck about half way through I realized I was pulling off the casing and not sliding the actual case seal off.
Now I am completely $&@!'ed with no hope of opening this without ripping it to pieces.
Do not make the same mistake I did, and if you have a solution to my stupidity, please do share.
