[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1629778, member: 175845"] Besides the long special screwdrivers needed you'll also have to use or probably create your own case cracker to even get into the case, and then discharge the CRT high voltage properly. A straight "shorting" device like a screwdriver is not recommended and the electronics don't like that. But no big deal if the old Mac is partially dead, but that voltage can make the tech into the same state if one isn't careful. Those capacitors can hold a huge big jolt for a long time after being unplugged!!! :D [/QUOTE]
