I can't open the backpanel of my case

[TheSpartaGod]

I am trying to manage the cables inside my pc. I am trying to open the backpanel of the case because i want to route my cables on the back of my case. I can't open it. The screws are off, i tried pulling it and it did not work. I saw other people being able to open it. My case is a corsair carbide spec-01. Any suggestions?

If the screws are off it probably just needs a tug in the right direction as it might be on there snugly. Take a look to make sure that it slides off towards the back and that it doesn't just pull open (like it's hinged in the front). Maybe give a small "bop" on the corners or along the edges with the bottom of your palm to try and loosen or shake any spot that is rubbing tightly together. Sometimes you have to get a little rough with them the first time... or every time if the case just fits tight like that.

Well i know that the case slides to open it. I opened the windowed side of my case and it slides just perfectly. But when i tried to open the other side of the case i just can't. I pulled it pretty hard, but i gave up to avoid doingdamage. It wouldn't even move half an inch. Am i doing something wrong?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, sadly I don't have the case to be able to look myself. Again, you might just need to bang on the edges a little with the lower part of your palm, I honestly think that chances are it's just stuck. It might have been put together before all the paint had dried or again, its just on there really tight. If you're worried you're doing it wrong, try and continue to google videos about the case to see if they show a different way to open that panel.

Thanks for the answers guys, turns out i just need to pull it Really, really hard to open it. Luckily, no there aren't any damaged parts 😀

Sometimes a little extra force is all it needs, or a good wack. I'm more worried about that sort of force when pulling components apart, but the case... give it all you've got!
