I'm thinking it might be a good idea to back off on screws to release tension on the plastics. I also like the idea of using Armour All to help protect the plastic. I'm sure five years would be the max time I could wait before deciding I just had to see if the duo still works. :-) Increased value isn't something I'd be looking for. It's more like I simply love my duo's and don't want to see them lost as useful laptops. Chuck

This happened with my trusty old PB170, requiting a complicated repair involving aluminum and lots of bolts. What to do to fix it? On that point I am lacking in clue. But I'm guessing it'll happen, so any thoughts, listers? -Leigh ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
