Hmmm....guess I should have been a tad clearer. I cut the three sides that
have no contacts ("back and sides, not the front") and then simply prise the
case open. No cut cables, etc. I've also tried the ole "freeze the sucker
and smack it" trick, doesn't work as well (get the case cold and the bond
between the top and bottom <<may>> break when smacked against a hard
surface). If you are VERY careful, an Exacto knife works well. I just don't
recommend it, as this can cause serious injury if you don't know how to
handle a knife (this from a guy that carries 3 on a daily basis....envelopes
are scared to death of me <<grin>>).
Anyway, may your battery rebuilding be blessed with success!
Cheers!
Andrew
