My son picked up an IBM G50 monitor the other day as fill-in while his normal monitor was awaiting a HOT replacement.
Focus was off, so I went to split the case and had more than the usual trouble. Then I spied a very neat hole in the side, lined up with the focus pot. Very handy, but it made me wonder - is this hole a factory job or a serviceman's after-market handywork?
That was a while since I repaired those. Consider yourself lucky that hole exists. This monitor requires special tools to open.

That's why I gave up trying to separate the case and peered in through the hole. Perfect view of the pot shaft. That's why I wondered about the history of the hole.

Tamper proof torx?

No. Clips that hold the cover are very deep and there are two narrow slots to access them. So one needs a long, thin piece of metal with some sort of hook on the end. Scredrivers do not fit. And you have to undo both clips at same time.
