As no one jumped in regarding my query, I thought I would venture out
along and try the tapping-along-the-seam technique previously
described and see if I could break into the dead Apple //c power
brick.
The tapping technique worked very nicely, although I had to apply
leverage with a screwdriver hammered into the seam to really crack the
two halves apart.
The scene of desolation inside revealed why it is dead-dead-dead, see
pictures here:

The smell is interesting too, it was nicely bottled up inside the
sealed PSU until I opened it...
Some of them were able to be opened, there were
hidden screws in the bottom
of some, ?there were also some that were 2 piece plastic heat-fused? Or
glued together.
Does anyone know if the technique of tapping along the seam will work
with the Apple //c brick power supply? which to me shows no sign of
hidden screws and looks to me "almost" seamless.
