Just looked in the Book "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" by Larry
Pina. He uses 14 pages to describe the processes required to do this
properly. This after you get the case open.
I highly recommend getting this book if you plan on doing much inside
you compact Mac.
Opening the case; I lay the case face down on a soft pad and removing
the 5 screws, four in plain sight on the back and one under the
battery cover. You need a long (about 8 inches) T-15 torx
screwdriver. Opening the case can be difficult. A screwdriver WILL
DAMAGE the case. I use the edge of a steel ruler. Sometimes a sharp
blow will separate the cover.
To do a good job of aligning the screen you need to do other
diagnostics and adjustment, including power supply voltage adjustment.
The square tube CANNOT be rotated. The display rotation is done by
rotating the yoke on the picture tube. The yoke may be stuck to the
tube and difficult or impossible to move.
CAUTIONS: The picture tube may contain several thousands of volts of
stored energy. The early Mac Pluses did not drain this voltage and it
may remain for several days. The first rule for working around this
area is to use only one hand so that the shock will not travel
through your body. You do not need to get near the high voltage, JUST
BE CAREFUL.
