Rotating on a Aero City

Post by Ichiban Rei »

Hey Guys, Awesome site! I have an Aero City cab that I'd like to rotate. I just wanted to know what tool to use when removing the glass on the Aero in order to rotate the monitor bezel. It looks like a regular star shaped screw only the screw driver or socket must have a hole in the center since there is a tiny cylinder in the center of the star. I haven't been able to find any such tool but then again, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

Don't remove the glass, open up the control panel and lift up the screen cover/bezel.

See mastercello's thread Here:-

Incidentally, it's a tamperproof or security torx set you're lookin for.

Thanks! I just checked it out. The black plastic bezel looks to be screwed in between the glass and the metal outer bezel so I don't think I can just pull it off. At least it was not easily moved. I think I'd have to remove the glass. Also, thanks a ton for the security torx recommendation. That's exactly what they are!

yep my bezel is screwed in between the glass and teh monitor hood so you gonna have to take off the glass. when i didn't have a torx set i managed to unscrew from the underneath the hood with a set of pliars but you might damage the thread doing it that way i guess

Hahaha, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Well needle nose pliers and rag loosened them enough to do the rest with the fingers. Thanks for the tip!
