Okay so I have a old Packard Bell OneTwo s3230 all in one pc. Now I know this thing has some parts in it I can use. The only thing is though, I can't get into it and I can't find a manual anywhere. Help please!

I dont know but what is the problem with it? if you have to trow it away look for screws at the back of the screen and start breaking the back cover away to show up the computer inside

What parts do you need from it? Most parts are just simply removed with a few screws, if any.

I just want the hdd and I think it has a WiFi card but I can't even get to the parts, there's no visible way to open the case and there's no manuals online

I derped and thought it was a normal pre-built tower, and not a Two-in-One.

 

The back is probably held in place by compression clips, the ones that snap shut when you are putting something together. So you would have to depress those clips one by one to opening it, that is if you want to do it the gentle way, and not just ripping it open.

 

Though, with that said. Are you sure that the Wifi module and the harddrive is worth salvaging? I can understand with the harddrive, but the Wifi module is probably nothing decent.

I'd try to crack it open using a flat-head screwdriver, and work my way around the sides.

 

If it's any help, on the back there's a small hole. Beside the small hole is a small padlock symbol with a K in it but when I push down inside the hole, nothing happens

 

That's the hole for the Kensington lock.
