I just use a standard bit (from a security set) in an extender (that I got at
home depot in order to pop the processors on a G5) that fits perfectly into the

I got the 512K screen working and same, the X. I put the disk in it

Thanks for the help. Once I find some time to go get the correct screw
driver to open the thing up I will put an update. My main concern
right now is getting the 128K running first then on to the 512K. The

Huh? Has anyone *ever* actually opened one with the correct screwdriver? :)

Other ways include:
Taking a bit, cutting a notch into it, and using a flat screwdriver
Taking a long allen wrench and using it.
Drilling the screws out, and never worrying about it.
Removing the screws

That's a classic symptom of a bad solder joint. They usually appear on the
bigger joints on the analog board around the flyback transformer and
