I have an Acer All in one . Aspire Z3-600 have searched google for hours but nothing showing how to remove back of it to remove or locate battery to e-cycle the rest, please help
ANY idea what the desktop window is made of? Glass or plastic, it is/was a touch screen. Don't want to "shatter" it if the drill bit goes thru itThis video is about replacing the SSD but it shows how to remove the back panel:
It's probably glass but there's one way of testing -- glass is usually a lot tougher than transparent plastics, so it will resist scratching more. Test a tiny part of the screen, such as a corner or part hidden by the bezel, and see if it marks if you try and scratch it with a small, flat bladed screwdriver. Better still, if you have a piece of glass, try the same with that: if the panel outer layer is glass, it shouldn't scratch it at all.ANY idea what the desktop window is made of?

Thanks, the whole all in one will be e-cyled so I'll try scratching it someplace, did not think about thatIt's probably glass but there's one way of testing -- glass is usually a lot tougher than transparent plastics, so it will resist scratching more.

But if you're just going to dispose of it anyway, and don't care if the screen will ever function again, cover the surface with clingfilm/shrink wrap before you drill it. If it does shatter, then the layer will prevent bits of glass going everywhere.
After the fact, removing a few screws, I moved it to scratch screen & harddrive fell out, ready to e-cycle, thank youThanks, the whole all in one will be e-cyled so I'll try scratching it someplace, did not think about that
