I finally tracked down the correct Torx screwdriver, and now have all five exterior Torx screws removed.
I'm following the directions below, but not getting anywhere (pushing the connectors in, I get resistance), and I don't want to break or damage the case. any suggestions? it's a Mac 128k. thanks dion directions: When you get all the screws out, go to the back of the Mac. Go to the bottom edge of the back, where the connectors are. wrap your index fingers around the back two feet on the bottom. Put your thumbs on the connectors. Now, use your thumbs to PUSH the connectors into the Mac. This will push the CPU board and thus the front of the Mac from the back. On the back where the battery door is, remove the door. Of course note the SCREW INSIDE TEH BATTERY DOOR which must be removed. Us your right thumb to push the battery holder "into" the Mac. Again, this will put pressure on the front of the Mac to seperate it from teh back. Keep in mind, the back of the mac is a shell. All the parts are in the "front' half of the Mac. Pushing the front "out" really means the back will be pushed towards you, as you are presumably holding the Mac from the BACK. Otherwise, you may have to grasp the Mac and seperate it, in ways I simply can't describe. It's a process that takes time and some experience, and I can't write enough words and descriptions. Again, other sites have had these descriptions over the years. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
