nasty high voltages live in there. Besides I might bust something
inside
and that would be bad.
What kind of crap attitude is that? Just because I don't want to take a chance of
RUINING the ONE Mac SE I
have. EASY for you to say. You've got random machines stacked to the
roof. I've seen them.
You want another?
There are dangerous voltages on the analog board of
that machine.
Perhaps even FATAL voltages.
You're more likely to get hit by a car than get zapped by your Macintosh
if you take simple precautions, like unplugging it from the wall for
example.
On top of that you know nothing of my electronics
repair skills, I know
what my limits may be. I would not want to break one of the SIM holders.
Take a chance.
