Remember to take the screw out of the battery compartment. I open Compacts by taking all screws out but one in the handle. Lyingon a soft surface like a couch or bed, face down, I tap the torx driver with my palm. It's resting on the screw while I do it. This always cracks the top of the case. I press on the SCSI port with my thumb to crack the bottom half. Jeff G -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
