Well, they did hide the case screws under little plastic caps, but that
is a minor problem...
There were no schematics for the PSUs in the appropriate service manuals
either, which was also a minor problem.
That seems a very common failing with various micro manufacturers - I wonder
why? Despite system design being done in-house, was PSU design typically
outsourced to a different company? That might explain the lack of PSU
schematics. Or did micro designers consider the logic servicable, and yet
somehow see the PSU side as not being so (or perhaps so bullet-proof that it
could never possibly go wrong)?
(I remember my +4 having a horrible epoxied brick PSU - urgh)
