In all the cases of Compacts I've disassembled, the method posted by someone
long ago has far-and-away been the best and least damaging:
Lay the compact face down on a towel folded double, or your bed.
Undo all screws. Place the torx driver into the head of one of the top,
handle-area, screws that is still in its cavity but completely loose,
and give a sharp blow to the top of the driver. It pops the top loose.
Then you place a thumb on the plug socket and the SCSI ports and
pry with your fingers. This is the least damaging way I've ever used.
And I've had 100% success using it.
