Sorry, could someone explain how these snaps work? I have a Dell LCD 173FPb with a power issue, and I need to get the cover off, but the snaps look a little different (narrower openinings) and I can't figure out in which direction to press.

For these ones I just pushed them with a flathead screwdriver.Best way to go is to pry two halves with a wide edged tool and push the snaps in with another one. Don't push too hard though, you want the thing in one piece. Good luck!

My monitor is Dell LCD 173FPb as well. I can open one side with a flathead screwdrivier but other sides are still tight. Any suggestions?

Are you maybe prying the one side you're loosening too much so that it's tightening the other sides? I had to be a little aggressive with the sides without snaps. I ended up with scratches on the other sides of the monitor, and there were a couple of times when I cringed and pulled, praying I wouldn't break it. It worked, and it didn't snap in half, but I had to pull harder than I was comfortable with. Whatever that's worth.
