I never ran into any such craziness working on a 102. It comes apart and lays out just fine, and replacing the nicd is no big deal at all.
Going back together, there is one non-obvious part where you have to know whether the bottom edge of the motherboard is supposed to hook under, under or rest on top of these little tabs formed into the bottom case. I think the case closes up and seems to work either way, but one way must be the right way and the other wrong. I don't remember which way is correct either right now so I can't even say which it is. It's been a while since I was last in mine and I don't remember what I deduced based on looking closely at everything. I remember the problem yet not the answer. hah.
