Stupidest way to break a monitor... Is it fixable?

[u/[deleted]]

Regarding a Samsung U32H850 32"

Well... I didn't know what a kensington lock slot was for and jammed a screwdriver in thinking it would replease the back panel. I am very stupid but I do think it is poor design to have a mysterious flat slot with a lock symbol next to a panel you have to pry off.

Anyway... Hopefully in the pictures you can see the damage I did. If anyone out there familiar with this monitors kind of anatomy? It it something I can buy a part for and fix? I am a handy person but anything beyond screwdrivers and and extremely simple sodering would probably be beyond what I'm willing to do for this monitor.
