thanks for everyone's help with the pull apart issue... i actually didnt think to remove the clutch covers, so that was my problem... i guess i pay for that by needing a new bottom case now :-( the other duos all had broken cases to begin with, and were easy to open w/o removing the clutch covers Now i have one more question on one of my 230's, the HD will not spin up at all... but when the HD and ribbon is put in a good 230, the HD works fine, so i know it is an issue with the duo, not the HD or cable visual inspection gives me no clues i could replace the M/B, but i am hoping to salvage as many parts as i can, and i'd like to , if possible, fix this problem any help appreciated regards, ~Alex ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
