The windowed side panel on my h440 wont come off .-. The top screw comes out fine but the bottom thumb screw is stuck, I tried to loosen it but nothing works, I fear its stripped. What am I to do!!!

try putting the head of the screwdriver in to the screw with a rubberband between them it can help grip the screw

Did you try to unscrew it with a screwdriver , or just by hand ?

Pull back when loosening the screw once loose just yank on the side panel to slide it back. It should come off fairly easy.
