Acer Aspire - how to remove the Power Supply?

[Blink_Toms]

Acer Aspire TC-710 - how do I remove the PSU? I can't see any way to get at it. The side of the box that looks promising to get at it is fastened with screws that seem to have no notches for screwdrivers. Thanks.

Thanks, man, but this is a tc-710 desktop tower. I have no problem crawling around inside laptops, but this is a different fish.

Sorry for the late response, but have you figured it out? The power supply should be mounted to the back with screws. The screw-like things in the case were implemented by a machine and cannot be removed manually. Take out the star/flat heads that are screwed into the back of the case for the power supply and see if it can be removed. There also may be a latch on the back of it. I know in my old HP desktop, there was a little thing you had to push down to release it.
