Two tips for the neophyte case-crackers: Mark your reference photos with sequence numbers (if necessary) and each removed part with a sequence letter or whatever. At work, put a long strip of masking tape on your work surface, sticky side up, and place each screw on it as you remove it. With a ballpoint, write each part's reference on the tape; lines between photos. No problem in deciding which screw came from which hole in the hinge base during reassembly. (Some are long; others short.) Secondly, be careful about torque on reassembly. The 2400 is notorious for screws working loose but I had the opposite problem: the next time I went in, I could not unscrew one that I'd over-tightened. Despite the hassles, my machine is a better one for my forays inside it (disk, CPU, memory, clicker). Enjoy! ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
