    I bought a microserver a while back, but I seem to have lost the key, or my 2yr old found it!

    I want to put another HD into it so need a key, I know a lot of people here may have bought one so was wondering if some kind soul might give me the lend of a key and I'll copy it, or if anyone has any suggestions as to where I might get one I'd be grateful!

    Cheers.

    Are you sure they're all the same? Mine has a name on it, "southco", and a code "W-23", which would suggest there are different locks out there.

    From what I've read they all have the W-23 code on them.
    Seem to be the same key on all microservers.

    HP said they woild get back to me....

    Yep, they were no use :(
    They don't carry spare keys...

    So anyone on here feeling generous?....

    I used a screwdriver on mine, only required a little bit more force. :)

    Don't suppose someone has another one of those keys knocking around? :)

    I just got an N54L with 2 keys, I'll PM you later for an address, think I have PMs turned off at the moment.

    Ok, PM your address and I'll send one on. I probably have the ones from the N40L too.
