HP 2100S Power Supply Disassembly Tips

Josh: Did you figure out a safe PS disassembly procedure? If so, what and how did it go? -----Original Message----- From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> On Behalf Of Josh Dersch via cctalk Sent: Tuesday, February 1, 2022 1:49 AM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: HP 2100S Power Supply Disassembly Tips Hey all -- I've had this HP 2100S mini sitting on the bench for a bit, waiting, and I wanted to go through the power supply and test/reform the capacitors this past weekend. The processor service docs cover getting the supply out (which is slightly cumbersome) and I have that step done. But neither the processor docs nor the power supply service docs seem to cover how one disassembles the supply itself. (Has a really thorough guide to how the thing works though, that I'm hoping I won't actually have to use anytime soon.) There are a lot of parts in this unit, and I'm not seeing a method to the madness. The capacitors are fairly easy to *get to* but actually removing them for testing / replacement seems to be another matter entirely. Anyone out there done this before and have any advice? Thanks! - Josh
