- You need a Torx screwdrive (T-15) to open up the Classic II. I have a
- Sears magnetic screwdriver kit that came with an extension bar that
- allowed me to take out the recessed screws. Unfortunately, they don't
- sell this particular kit anymore, and you are in England.
-
- Let's pretend that you managed to take out the 4 screws. You will find
- that the bottom of the case opens easily, but the top does not. Many
- places sell these "case crackers", which are nothing more than a fancy
- pair of spreaders. I found that a large bladed screwdriver, gingerly
- used in strategic places, would spread open the top of the case without
- damaging it.
-
- After you take the screws out, place the computer SCREEN DOWN on a nice
- soft surface. Once you have "cracked" the top of the case, just pull
- the back of the case up (and off). Voila!
