    Take the stand off then the three screws at the bottom. You can gently pry the back off at that point.

    my aspire desktop AZ3771 is older but the question is the same - unfortunately we cannot get the screws out as they will not turn, we have tried everything we have seen on YouTube etc, nothing works.  Any tipss to remove screws that won't move?  we dont want to damage computer.  Have talked to local shops and they cant be bothered to help us even though we would pay for the service.

    Any suggestions from someone who knows the  Acer Aspire AZ 3771 & has had similar problems and was successful at moving these screws would be such a help.  Thank you!  Donna :

    The screws you are trying to remove are M3x8 and use a #1 JIS cross driver for best results. A Phillips #1 should work OK, but you might need to tap on the back of the screwdriver to get it fully seated before twisting it. There is likely a bit of corrosion on the screw and that's normal for the age.
