Mac SE screen - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

13 Sep 2000

After much searching for the right size tool I eventually accepted defeat
and bought a specific tool (well, in reality it's just a 15" T15 driver)
called a MacCracker from RS Components for ukp5.95. Having done that however
you sharp discover the other Torx bits within a Mac that need (or would be
fiddly without) said long driver so it's worth the money.

  In trying to make 1 good SE out of 2 bad ones I
managed to   send the screen
  to decompression hell while unbending a bent pin
on the
 yoke.....grrr.....so, before I start dismantling other dead Macs the
 question is can I use the screen from either a Plus or Classic?
 And obvious 2nd question - anyone want the bones of an SE   for possible
  macquarium use or something along those lines?
There's only   the case, PSU,
  dead screen and analogue board left though.

 Since you've successfully(? :-) disassembled yours, what did 
 you use for
 those top recessed screws? They look like an Allen wrench 
 would fit but
 it doesn't seem to be working on mine. The lower ones appear 
 to be Torx.

 Incidentally, does Finder 6.0.2 take 1GB disks? (hope hope hope)
