Starting the clam shell with a non-functional 18C and a partially functional 28S
I am thinking it is the foam compression strip for the connectors on both, but, this means an operation.
I have searched the web and the only thing I see is a discourse with Tony Duell and others about heat stakes. Tony mentions that the heat stakes in this case are required to hold the upper and lower halfs together and there fore just breaking into it as some do with the pioneers is a no-no.
He recomends that the keyboard overlay be removed and the heat stakes drilled out in a careful manner, leaving enough for a good snap back into position.
My question:
Anyone out there done this or tried SUCCESSFULLY any other method?
