512k Teardown Question
hi folks, happy thanksgiving!
if saw previous posts, you’ll know got 512k system damaged case. did manage find new case that’s in shape, apple logo on front little more faded 1 on broken case, i’d switch them.
rather me tearing both cases , destroying badges without idea i’m doing, have tips on how remove these safely?
in advance information may able provide!
first, practice faded logo.
inside case, there hole center of badge fitted.
use hair dryer gently soften adhesive behind logo. no hotter can place finger on.
next, use soft tool (like toothpick) gently push through hole. observe badge - should begin dis-lodge.
don't push hard tooth-pick or create dimple in badge.
if can't move, after holding pressure via hole, i've once or twice used thin blade (box cutter) between case , badge. trick , closely you're doing, not scratch badge or case. place blade @ right angle front panel, , point of blade below rear-most part of badge. can use combination of blade (with point behind badge) , toothpick peel badge away it's recess.
i've done years ago, , it's nerve-wracking. work slowly, can take while adhesive peel apart, magnifying glasses if want see you're doing blade.
others may use different method, or adhesive may not used to, due age.
edit - pic of hole badge removed:
if you've not taken 1 apart before, that's whole other ball-game.--- post merged, ---
