I had to install memory in 14 Mac SEs and did great using the torx wrench and their manual, plus one of the Apple technotes on memory banks. Basically, I used the torx wrench to pull (unscrew) the four screws from the back of the SE. Then I used the side (lenghtwise) of thre torx to pry away the shell. Worked great! 100% effective. And, to Technology Works credit, I wanted to be double sure that my procedure was ok and the tech guy totally helped me out and walked me straight through an installation. I did the other 13 in less than 1/2 hour! -- ___________________________________________________________ |Puneet Pasrich | Internet: 6600bike@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu | |Karate Kid | Bitnet: 6600bike@ucsbuxa.bitnet | |'Just do it!' | |
