This is a pretty easy unit to open up (I didn't say work on =). Pretty much four large screws and slide the case off. I recently won one of ebay and before powering it up - sans M100, I opened the case - found a dead spider and his web - he didn't shake loose in shipping and that the ground plug for the drive had come lose, might have been before shipping. I vacuumed up Mr. Spider and his nest and hit the floppy connections with some deoxit and re-plugged in the grounding lug and powered it up. It came up fine. I did get in some replacement DVI cables from Arcade Shopper but have not connected a working M100 yet. d.
