if they have a K they are most likely torx screws which you need a special type of driver with a hollow tube in the center to fit around the pin to turn them. go to a computer shop and ask for torx drivers they will know what to give you (make sure you ask for the hollow pointed tips)

hope this helos

ok i overlooked this one.. its just a snap-tight case.. prys open .. no i havnt worked on much outside the crt realm until recently. good luck on the cdt.

If it is a rectangular hole it is for attaching an anti-theft lock like found on laptop computers. It has nothing to do with getting the case off.

The holes in many portable gizmos are for attaching an anti-theft leash to them, so thet can't "wander off". I think the company that makes the security cables might be Kingston. Now you can secure these plastic-cased electronic devices to a counter/desk with an aircraft-grade cable.

No. It is a slot for a security device to be installed.

Screws could be under feet, plastic covers, labels, or under the keyboard.
