Moonraker Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Howdy, and no, not that fiddling.The attached pictures show a transformer cover that I'm trying to open (so I can replace the transformer) but I'm struggling with what feels like such a simple task that I'm becoming annoyed. The screw holds a small section that covers the wiring in to the bigger section so I don't need that.Where I'm having trouble is finding the 'knack' as to how I open that larger part, which I'm assuming is done by the four little 'clips. You may observe where I've used a own life and its gadgets to release these clips, but I can't figure it out.What's the secret, please? With thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Whenever I come across problems like this, as I did with a Gtech vacuum and a dremmel recentley, Youtube is my first port of call and I've had success on both occasions.

Guest Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 My guess would be you have to push on the 4 indented area which clip in. Have had something similar and it was total bugger to get off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really hoping not all at the same time.I've pushed each clip directly towards the case, and pushed them both up and down.Im losing my marbles I'm sure.

Fozzie Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I hate these sort of things. They're cheap but effective. At the cost they're a pain in the arse to remove. Brute force is usually always the way with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
