Question How to open a Gateway FLEXATXSTC BRO Essential 933 C Case from 2001 ???

[FrustratedasHeck]

This thing is solid as far as i can tell. No screws whatsoever. There are tabs on the side that don't seem to do anything. I tried pulling the back out putting my hand in the hole but almost. got a hernia . Hopefully somebody may have some ideas ? I am trying to get at the hard drive. Hopfeully i posted the images correctly if that helps any.

At 0:37, that yellowish clip thingy....there should be one on the other side as well.

Push them IN, and the outer case should slide off, either to the front or to the back.

Also, clear pictures are MUCH better than a jumpy video.

OK, thanks. I tried that with no luck by myself. This thing is so old it just might just be stuck. Might be a two person job ( 1 holds the tabs and the other pull the case out.)

Whether they work or not, that is what is holding the outer case on.
It looks like it slides off the back.

yeah you are right. I pried open the front cover and the "guts" are enveloped in by flaps there so it cant push out through the front. It has to go out through the back. Thanks. each week i get a little closer to figuring this out.
