My Compacts
OK, I tried to crack open one of my compacts {bottom stcker says its a
Plus, sticker on the front says its a SiClone (or something like this)
SE} and I can get the top to seperate but not the bottom.
I took out the two screws on the back (all that I could find) so what
do I do now?
The reason I want into this beast is that its got some mostly
horizontal lines on the screen and I wanna see if anything inside it
loose, etc.
Second machine. An SE that I know works as I have used it before. Last
night I briefly got a Happy Mac screen (with no KB plugged in) but it
hung there so I powered it down, plugged in the KB and now I get
nothing on the screen. Ideas?

Look for two more screws in the handle of the back. If you pick it
up by the handle--look in where your fingers would go. Those are the
2 that you need a long torx driver to get at.
Good luck!

Re: My Compacts
Yet I can get the top open
its just the bottom that won't come away from the back.

Steve The usual way would be to leave the bottom screws part way installed, leaving about 1/2 inch play, and then press in on the screws while holding the case over a towel or some such surface. The case should separate far enough to get your fingers in and pull it the rest of the way open (after you remove the screws of course!). Ken -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

On all compacts there are two screws inside the top handle and two
screws on either side of the connectors on the back, at the bottom.
On a Plus there is a fifth screw under the battery cover.
