- Don't crack it open... not yet! You can access the screws on the Apple
- Joystick by removing the rubber feet on the bottom. They are fastened with
- an adhesive and can be "peeled" off... there are only two srews holding the
- case together so if you find one then the other is directly diag. to it.
-
- The buttons themselves are fairly goog quality but the wires connecting them
- are hair-thin. If the wire has come off then you jut need to resolder them
- again... I repaired mine like this before.
