Chosen Solution
the 2 screws on the back panel closest to the center front on my lenovo yoga 2 13 spin, but they don’t come out and keep the back panel locked in place. they have a tiny bit of resistance and feel like they step 12 times per revolution. could the standoffs have broken off allowing the screw to spin but preventing it from unscrewing? do i have to cut the panel open?
They most likely have brackets on the back. Unscrew it as far as you can then give them a gentle pull.
