It's VERY important to be careful inside the Mac
once the cover is
off. It's extremely easy to snap the glass nipple on the CRT and
ruin it. Apple in their infinite wisdom put a circuit board on
the back of the neck to act as a 'torque amplifier' for this
purpose. Just bumping the board wrong can let all the 'magic
vacuum' out of your CRT.
I have the Larry Pina mac repair books and that's one of first things to do -
after popping the back case, remove the little board from the back of the crt
so you don't jostle it by accident.
