OK, making progress taking apart my 2400c Comet for case painting
mod.
Lower case open with palmrest, keyboard, etc. removed (all screws
carefully numbered and taped together in order of removal).
Display is still connected, but only via ribbon cable. First
question:
what's the safest way to disconnect LCD ribbon cable? Do I need to
remove the subassembly structure that runs across the lower case
below
the display?
It's been a long time since I've done it, but if I recall, you don't
need to remove the metal piece in order to disconnect the display
cable.
If it's clearly on top of the display cable and needs to come off, the
two sockets on the board can be removed by using your fingernails to
lift straight up.
Looks like this would allow me to safely disconnect the
ribbon cable from the mobo; am I right? Will I then be able to
remove
the lower case's rear panel, thereby having the casing's bottom panel
separated from everything else (for masking and painting)?
If you haven't done so already, I very strongly recommend reading the
step-by-step takeapart I wrote, here: <http://webobjects.uwaterloo.ca/
mac2400/piecemeal.html>. Read it all the way through before proceeding
and it will give you a good idea of what's left that you need to
do. If
you have any questions after that, I'd be happy to answer them.
Best,
Ivan.
